Five Star Quality Care, Inc. (FVE)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company operates senior living communities, including independent living and congregate care communities, assisted living communities and nursing homes.

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.

Good entry price and a bit in the shadows... more old people coming to a town near you soon. I also like the payout requirement of trusts. I did sign on before they issued $80m bonds and may have thought better had I known. But I stick with me choice. It's long term for me though I won't invest more...More

This stock has tanked because investors are worried that seniors won't be able to sell their houses when they need to move into retirement and assisted living facilities. Despite this, our population is aging and eventually people will face the music. The housing crisis won't last forever; as home prices drop (even with a credit crunch) more people will be able to afford them. Those who have a lot of equity in their home (like the elderly) will be better positioned to take the hit on a lower price. Elderly care facilities are only going to get more profitable as more people need them.

Recently I've taken ever greater notice of improving or already highly rated stocks (caps rating) and decreasing stock prices. Combine these two qualities with low price to book ratios, low price to earnings ratios, insider ownership, solid management, and a solid business and I believe you have a high potential company in both the short and long term, a hidden gem if you will. With Five Star Quality care we have the above mentioned qualities and a megatrend to boot.

Nice gain in earnings this quarter. This one should be a winner over the long haul.

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. 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!
