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.

As the economy softens I expect to see discounters and low end stores such as Dollar Tree to perform well. Their are increasing concerns about the quality of some of their items but they sell a wide range of items and this should protect against a few.

The range of economic analysis' of the next five years say we are in for a slow recovery from this sub-prime mess. Sales figures for all of the discounters show they are attracting more buyers than before sub-primes hit the fan.

(4) Well capitalized

As do all of the other bull pitchers, I expect that the combination of rising prices and stagnant wages to force more people into discount stores such as this one.
