Level 3 Communications, Inc. (LVLT)

CAPS Rating:

Through its operating subsidiaries, the Company engages in the communications business. The Company is facilities based provider of a range of integrated communications services.

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.

It may take a while to reach profitability, but this is a company that should eventually get there in a big way. Smart investors like George Soros think so and so does the Prudent Speculator. With any luck we are near the bottom here, but I am in for the long run on this one.

Higher than expected revenue, but a larger than expected loss, and the stock rallies 18%. They're still not profitable and, given the state of the economy, they won't be next quarter either. I'm betting this is a rally based on short-covering that won't last beyond tomorrow.
