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.

Cut in earnings leaves the stock worth $50-60. This one still has further to fall.

Another supplier to Pharma, Biotech, but with the addedd advantage of a month long beating on the stock price. Like others (my personal favoriates being CRL, QGEN), I would bet that over the long haul, suppliers of reagents & technology that support the drug discovery industry to do well. BioRad also has the capabilities to get in the the biomarker arena, which would be good if they can execute properly.

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