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.

C & S are brilliant investors. Compounding book value at over 20% for 3 decades.

The iron ore mine in OZ is coming on line this year. Same for their interest in a copper mine in Spain. Recently bought 20% of AFC at a fraction of its 52 week high. Bought more raw land in Florida during the bust....More

May be too soon to jump into financials at this point but I expect the start of a turn-around within 3-6 months. This is a mini BRK with better recent returns prior to the dump. Don't wait too long on this.

Where do I begin? The company is well managed by two great minds Sinberg and cummings. These two are very crafty when it comes to deal making, and accounting. C & S both own alot of stock so they are heavily invested in the company right along side any other share holder. The compnay is managed on with an intrinsic value mentality which avoids getting involved in short sighted deals that blow up. Luk has a lot money and buisness delopment is in the works right now. Over the next 2 years their wine buisness should start to be profitable, also the company's medical investments will either hit or bust.
Finally, the company has made 3 huge moves in the last year and these will probubly take a couple of years to fully develope. ( the 1/3 purchase of cresy an argintine agricultre company, the 1/3 purchase of ACF car financing company, and the 1/3 investment in jef a major investment company that LUK knows and has done buisness with for years.)
Do you rown D.D. but their appears to be a big upside to this company , however it might be a couple of years away.

Avg returns over 20% annually for a long time. Quirky company, but likely to continue to do well.
