CAPS Rating:
***

The Company develops, manufactures and distributes products and provides services for the veterinary and the food and water testing markets.

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.

Idexx is the dominate player in the veterinary diagnostic business.

Idexx fell for a while after the split in november, but has leveled off and is starting back up again. i dont think it will go down again based on the fact that it is the largest vet supply company with the best equipment. it uses animal blood for equipment testing rather than human blood, which doctors like because it is a lot safer against disease. They have new equipment out that is starting to be sold on a larger scale. this company is not going anywhere (but up).

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!
