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,
