CAPS Rating:

A Producer of primary aluminum, fabricated aluminum, and alumina, and is active in all major aspects of the industry: technology, mining, refining, smelting, fabricating, and recycling.

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.

I like the fact that Alcoa comes full circle with aluminum production...they mine, refine, manufacture, market, and recycle it. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 0 (AA) JoyofMoney (< 20) Submitted: 7/09/08 2:03 AM : Start Price: $34.76 AA Score: 5.27 Another stock that I understood to be a good steady influence that has been doing the downturn dance very steadily for awhile. Of course with my luck I would write this pitch on the day it beats expectations with how low its earnings fell - however I still see a losing side to via an increase to AA's expenses that will show in future quarters. Not really thinking it will stay up even if it moves up for awhile in sympathy to a rally. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.

Recs 0 (AA) wiredmotley (< 20) Submitted: 7/08/08 9:24 PM : Start Price: $33.99 AA Score: 4.26 Slightly over 1 percent sales growth in a worldwide materials and commodities boom is NOT a good sign. 24 percent decrease in earnings. Increasing foreign competition with much lower labor rates and probably lower executive salaries as well. Key insiders selling. The technicals are a little mixed to bearish right now: The AMEX Materials sector stocks are getting hammered and Alcoa when placed on a chart next to these SPDRs mimics them step for step (very bearish). 30 Day MA above the 10 Day MA (bearish). Stock is being heavily distributed of late (bearish). The down trend is of moderate strength (as opposed to weak or strong). You could say moderately bearish... Since 6/20/08 the stock has been trending lower and on increasing volume (bearish). The RSI was starting to turn up from the Overbought range and as of this writing it turned back down very slightly (bearish). There are some positive: signs the Slow Stochastics turning up above the 20 line and a Hammer Candle stick just below the linear regression line. We will still need some confirmation. Volitility is increasing and based on all of the above info; I see an increase in some more downside potential... Sincerely, WiredMotley Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
