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.

Best positioned with Natural Gas power plants in all the right places. Electricity demands will continue to peak even in a recession.

Put it this way? The more electric cars in use the more electric producing companies like AES will profit.

Its like the gold rush in the 1800's, the only people that made money was the one's selling picks & shovels.

Today's electric companies will be the biggest benefactor of the Obama alternative energy policy.

Review in mid-Jan, Almost all of the overperform picks in the last 75 trail the S&P 500. I really do not understand the fundamentals but that is the way she is floating at the moment.

Beaten down 60% (to PE of 4.43). Sector leader that will probably lead the sector recovery.
