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.

I love this stock. It has performed exceedingly well over the last year. To all good things, though, the end must come. As the dollar strengthens investors are going to be increasingly worried about their euro exposure. It may take a while and the euro may have to unwind before it happens, but stock...More

I know this stock has had a huge run and I really wanted to jump in. But when I took a closer look at the numbers I noticed some potential red flags. Inventory and receivables has been outpacing revenue by a substantial margin. And cash took a big dive relative to net revenue from 2006 to 2007 (tough to gauge for Q1 08 because there was negative net revenue in Q1 07). Also, didn't they just issue more shares? Food for thought.

Great performer with a steady upward climb since Feb '07. Stays well above the 200MA and 50MA. Hold this one for the long term.

CEDC has been a market winner for years now, and I expect it to continue with their entry into the Russian vodka market, and imminent entrance into the Ukraine.

With the u.s. economy like it is, I think that alcohol will likely be one of those few businesses that continue to make money. This, combined with a decent revenue growth rate I think makes this one a buy.
