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.

It is difficult to pick bottoms but at 30.5 BAC is really cheap. US government will not let Bank of America which is the largest bank by deposits go under. Also, the economic uncertainties made the fed allow BOA take over Countrywide and thereby become the #1 mortgage lender in the US as well. More ...More

Have to do it. BAC is going to get nailed and sued up and down for fraudulent conveyance of the CFC merger, on top of CC losses and just general losses, wait till the prime loans start defaulting, that's when the real mess begins, we're still in the third inning of the current downturn.

I think they are being unfairly punished by the market and the stock has held above $30 here

Will recover given enough time. Target price is $50 within two years unless we go into another depression.

If I learned anything from the recent credit crisis its this: "America needs banks"... I didn't realize that a void would open up under every Americans house and suck them into the abyss if a mega-bank was to fail, but it's the truth, Uncle Paulson told me that. And if you don't believe in Uncle Paulson, that's just plain un-American. Since mega-banks now control your life and have allowed members of the Fed and treasury to circumvent the need to follow those silly little rules that were set up in the constitution, I think the next step is to go ahead and amend the Ten commandments... Wonder how much taxpayer dollars it'll cost to add the amendment "Thou Shalt Not Question the Wisdom of King Paulson"... maybe it'd be cheaper to "correct" the bible to have Jesus saying "Give to Ceaser what is Ceaser's and give to Paulson what is Paulson's"?

In times of crisis, investing in the best companies in a beaten-down industry can lead to long-term outperformance. The good companies pick up market share, buy their competitors at big discounts, and set themselves up for long-term dominance.





A few of these banks have left themselves in good shape. I don't think there's any hurry here, but keep an eye on the best of the best, and don't be afraid to buy in...
