American Apparel (APP)

CAPS Rating:
**

The Company is a blank check company with an objective to acquire an operating business. It initially plans to focus on businesses in the business services, marketing services, consumer services, health care services and distribution services segments.

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.

Same store sales look great. This company has some internal problems, however, once they are worked out this stock will be trading well over 10.

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