First Cash Financial Services, Inc. (FCFS)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company is a provider of consumer financial services and related specialty retail products.

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.

Government bailouts won't stop losses for a bad business. This whole area needs reform and consumers are being taken to the cleaners by predatory lenders.

nothing worse than picking a stock and then not actually buying it! My first Motley fool issue early spring last year I think, price was aruond $7.00 I didn't even have a brokerage account then. So by the time I got up and running this may, it was all ready up to at least $12.00, I figured it was too late and didn't buy it. Idiot!

In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

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