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.

Apparently billiards, boats and bowling aren't the best combination. Perhaps BC should try adding beer & bolgne, as those two products seem to sell well during a difficult economy. Even if they did sell beer & bolgne, it probably wouldn't help. The companies EPS, revenue and net income ...More

Perhaps BC should try adding beer & bolgne, as those two products seem to sell well during a difficult economy. Even if they did sell beer & bolgne, it probably wouldn't help. The companies EPS, revenue and net income have been faultering for awhile now. Closing the Ohio plan is just further indication that the company is struggling. The fact that BC's stock is selling well below book doesn't appear to be attracting investors. BC will have to make some significant changes to turn this company around.

Boating and bowling are two of these activities.Because of the recent increases in product shipments and reductions of in-yard inventory coupled with slight increases in production rates, I believe that BC stock has reached it's bottom. I expect a sharp increase in stock price over the next 6 mo. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.
