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.

With a P/E or less than 10 and sales growth of >9%. The average net profit margins over the last five years were 12.1% not too bad.And carrying virtually no debt they are position to handle this slow down in the economy. Look for them to meet their numbers.They are aggressive with their ad campaigns with a big ticket concert scheduled this summer aimed at the college consumer by offering local bands opportunity to vie for recording contracts.Good retail buy on pull back and good dividend play.

This is a really beaten down stock with good financials and a solid following of teens. Looking at comps, this has a low PE. I think this is a buy anywhere below $20.

American Eagle is struggling like most other special retailers with the ecnomy struggling, but they are a well run company with above average margins and plenty of cash on its balance sheet. It will ride out the rough times and be positioned to capitalize once the economy recovers from the oncoming recession and Americans start spending freely like they love to do.

Avatar timattox (92.81) Submitted: 5/13/08 2:29 PM : Outperform Start Price: $17.58 AEO Score: 1.12

From my HiGrowthLoDebt screen with the following particularly good stats:
EV/OCF < 7 (3rd of 14)
PE < 11 (2nd of 14)
with the other ten screen criteria falling in the middle of the pack, except for market cap.
AEO is bigger than what I would normally invest in, leaving less room to grow.
Some future blog post may reveal my various screen criteria. But not today.
