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.

General Mills is one of the major cereal players.


With the bad economy people start eliminating things that arn't esential in there lives. Breakfast represants a cheap way for the home consumer to cut cost. Instead of a cup of coffee at Starbucks or a food at Dennys . . . a bowl of cereal at home.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Why not invest more than health.
