RAIT Financial Trust (RAS)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is a specialty finance company that provides a comprehensive set of debt financing options to the real estate industry.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

still think the market is headed down. real estate may not be good until one feels it cannot go no lower then is the time to buy. with making loans and acquiring loans. a person can always move. find somewhere to rent and not worry about the headaches

Book value is way above current price. Worst case it gets bought out by someone else at a substantial premium.

If it survives the dividends over next 5 years should be great.
