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.

Some people say America is entering a second Great Depression, or that America is about to lose its standing as the last remaining Super Power. Whether or not things go that far, there's little doubt that the American economy is in decline, at least for a little while. But the sliding of the greenback and the development of China, India, and Brazil (to name a few) offer a compelling opportunity for investment in foreign markets.

It looks like it's going to take America awhile to sort out the mess it created in the financial institutions back home, and I'm using this opportunity to take a look at some foreign financials. This is one of a handful of stocks in the foreign financial sector that seemed worthy of a green thumbs here on CAPS.

Private Indian bank. The downside is that there are too many loans out and will be very dependent on the Indian economy, especially the IT industry and the callcenter industry that has given loads of money to the young generation who believes in spending more than pocketing it.

As the American consumer strugglers with the current economy, HDFC Bank will continue to issue well underwritten, higher interest consumer loans.
