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.

Quick and dirty on J-Box:

* Potential Qdoba spin-off. Think Chipotle. There ya go.
* No more E Coli headlines in the news
* Obviously the best tasting burger out of the top 3 (okay, that's just my opinion, but some will agree)

My prediction that JBX will underperform the market is based on technical chart indicators and the less than stellar fundamentals, such as a high PEG ratio.

If the election keeps pounding on how bad the economy is, I expect all fast food to see a bump.

Comps have turned negative, 40% of all JBX stores are located in one state, California, $429 million total debt, and commodity prices are still increasing. Although JBX will most likely look for labor efficiencies to offset the rising commodity costs, if the democrats are elected expect a large jump in the minimum wage which may negate any labor savings.

This stock is over bought. Earnings are declining and will decline more rapidly because of new marketing expenses. You can't move this product in this market by expanding offerings which only increases scape and waste. Consumers are cutting back on fast food and particularly "fatty" fast foods. Closing/selling stores may keep operating cash flow looking ok just like borrowings of social security make government spending look good for a while. This stock has a long way down to go.
