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.

Alright normally I'd say Best Buy all the way, but you can't ignore the numbers here. They're loaded with cash and they have a small amount of debt. Here's the kicker, the market values them at about $842 million market cap, yet their stockholder's equity is at about $1.7 billion! This is about as ...More

Bankruptcy or buyout within the year. Management is clueless and the stores are empty. I've never found something to buy when I go in and the employees aren't helpful like at BestBuy or even Radioshack. I think they must be terribly unhappy with their jobs.

They are worth more on paper then their stock price. At the least someone will buy them out for their real estate value.

Even if they are not bought they are starting to turn things around and will be a good long play.

I have decided for the next serveral weeks to change my investment strategy to be short stocks trading between $1.50 and below $10 with a market cap of more than $100 million. My goal is to acheive at least a 60% sucess rate of beating the S&P Index. I am looking for 30% of my picks beating the S&P Index by more than 5% with an average per pick of at least 1.50. I am only looking to hold these positions for approximately 10-15 days.

All the picks that I select are from screening criteria that I have developed using software from Vectorvest. I find it to be a good screening tool. For game playing purposes, since I always try to have 200 picks going at once, it's a shot gun approach with only short term trading in mind.

Since this is not real money, I have the luxury to base a pick on sheer distaste for this crappy company
