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.

Taking a stab at Peter Lynch's recommendations. This stock has a strong 3 yr growth at 23%, a low debt to equity ratio and is off the beaten path. Wish me luck!

Historically cheap valuation. Fundamentally strong with shortage of nurses and healthcare staff.

I work for a large privately held competitor of AMN. I work on one of the quickest growing teams in the Locum (Physician) staffing department. I can tell you, this company has problems. Staffcare, their flagship brand is ripe with issues. Of all our competitors, they are by far the most nearsighted, and prone to some serious ethical problems. I wouldn't touch this stock with a 10 foot pole. My company, as well as others continue to erode their market share.

I can tell you that they are growing at half the pace we currently are, and I think my company is barely keeping up with the industry average.

Short this stock. You can't build long term value on unethical/marginal practices.
