CAPS Rating:
*

Provider of information services to the commercial real estate industry in the United States and United Kingdom. Its integrated suite of products offers customers online access to a database of commercial real estate information.

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.

I wouldn't with Andrew's di_k and blame it on Cramer. The PE is totally unwarranted. Management is not honerable, nor are they efficient. The industry is retracking and not expanding as they'd have you think. Growth, real growth, isn't there. Does this company, which steals info from its main competiton, worth $1 billion? I think not.

I'd stay far away from this one.

Costar is my Top Short Pick.

Underperform: Services to the real estate sector at a high EPS premium. It may have done alright in the last quarter, but expect not in the next one or two. However, the stock has one of the largest short ratios currently existing: 42 days. But still too much optimism in the level of call open interest.

Two part play in an industry that may be ripe for competition.
Short CSGP and Long LOOP on valuation measures.

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