CAPS Rating:

The Compamy including its wholly owned subsidiaries, is a retailer of used vehicles in the United States.

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.

The ability to purchase such a high quality business so early in it's growth cycle should lead to attractive returns as this business still has quite a long runway still ahead of it. Like most organic growth stories of its kind (WMT, SBUX, HD, etc), operating and net margin's should improve as volu...More

Recs 0 (KMX) TheStillMan (85.89) Submitted: 7/22/08 11:53 AM : Start Price: $13.59 KMX Score: 2.34 Very simple reason for picking this one. Managers at Berkshire, Dodge and Cox, and Markel found value in Carmax at $20. The drop to $13.50 makes it a screaming buy in my book. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 1 (KMX) tennis128 (38.94) Submitted: 7/01/08 4:28 PM : Start Price: $14.16 KMX Score: 0.57 Mittal steel announced a 60% increase in the steel cost to car manufacturers. This is expected to impact the bottom line of new car manufacturers, and the price will be passed along to consumers. With the slumping economy look for people to look for smaller used vehicles rather than expensive new ones. Soon car lots will be selling Civics and Corollas at MSRP as gas continues its ascent to $5 a gallon. Look for a shift in the paradigm as people look for high quality used cars at Carmax and not expensive in-demand small cars at the dealerships. Carmax is an established company that has proven growth. The recent slump in value of the company makes this play even better. I like the stock to take off as the financial companies get their act together to make financing easier and cheaper and as new cars become increasingly more expensive. If I was to buy a new car today, I would go to car max, and I think most people would go there as opposed to any generic used car facility. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
