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.

Hawked by Arnold Palmer, it must be a good stock! Actually, as unemployment rises, ASF should do better as more people look for work.

This, and other well-run stocks in the same business should do well long-term. Outside of certain regional difficulties (like Detroit metro) the U.S. is very much of an employee's market for years, having much less to do with the overall economy than basic age demographics. The age-mix in the U.S. is trending older (i.e.people who tend to run and manage businesses) rather than younger (entry level, and young professionals) and will do so for many years to come, based on the current birth rate. Capitalizing on this situation will be firms like Administaff and workers themselves. By far the biggest challence for staffing firms will be hiring enough people to fill the orders that are coming in.
