Adams Express Company (ADX)

CAPS Rating:
***

A diversified investment company. An equity fund whose investment policy is essentially based on the primary objectives of preservation of capital, the attainment of reasonable income from investments and an opportunity for capital appreciation.

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.

The MF description for ADX is wrong. This is a closed-end fund trading at a nice discount to NAV with low fees.

Closed end fund trading at a solid 14% discount. This fund offers you the opportunity to own a litany of blue chip stocks well under their traded prices (because of the discount). The fund has existed since 1929.

One of it's largest hold (PEO) is another CEF that's selling at a discount. So it's actually selling at double discounts.

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
