Alcon, Inc. (ACL)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company develops, manufactures and markets pharmaceuticals, surgical equipment and devices and consumer eye care products to treat diseases and disorders of the eye.

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 players 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.

Just had LASIK. Alcon made the equipment used and the medications that I am now taking. There was a line out the door of people waiting to have the procedure. Huge profit margins, no slowing in sight.
