CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company manufactures, bottles, imports, exports, and markets a variety of alcoholic beverage brands. The Company also manufactures and markets new and used oak barrels.

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.

Its principal beverage brands are Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, Southern Comfort, Finlandia Vodka, Herradura Tequila, Gentleman Jack, Jekel Vineyards Wines, Jack Daniel's Single Barrel, Jack Daniel's Ready-to-Drinks, Bel Arbor Wines, Bolla Wines, Bonterra Vineyards Wines, Old Forester Bourbon, Canadian Mist Blended Canadian Whisky, Pepe Lopez Tequilas, Chambord Liqueur, Sanctuary Wines, Don Eduardo Tequila, Sonoma-Cutrer Wines, Early Times Kentucky Whisky, Tuaca Liqueur, el Jimador Tequila, Stellar Gin, Five Rivers Wines and Woodford Reserve Bourbon. The Company’s core brand in its portfolio is Jack Daniel’s, which is a spirits brand and American whiskey brand. Its other brands are Southern Comfort and Canadian Mist. Its largest wine brands are Fetzer, Korbel and Bolla.

When I went looking for investments, I looked to find companies that actually make some of the products that i and other people use and I asked myself what about Jackie D.

While its not the most richest whiskey in the world, it is an american whiskey and it's not bad, it does its job and it has a cool name. Than I looked at the business and the financials and crunched some numbers and in my humble opinion I greened BF/B and it has done its job for me.

Increasing international exposure sets up for a great earnings announcement over the next few quarters before Wall Street catches on to the story.

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

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