CAPS Rating:
*****

Develops, manufactures and markets disposable medical products primarily for use in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases which is considered to be one segment line of business.

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.

This is a cyclical stock that fluctuates between $11 and $17 - buy at the bottom of the channel and ride it till it gets to @$15.

Merit Medical Systems is a medical device manufacturer that specializes in single use items. It has about 200 million in sales per year.

The company has a clean balance sheet, no debt, and management runs a tight ship. With several new high margin products just coming on line and several others in the pipeline, they are a tasty minnow swimming in a sea of hungry sharks. By itself, it is in a stable, recession proof industry and would make a decent investment. In my opinion however, it is a prime buyout target.

Solid diagnostic play that should be favored by demographic trends.

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!
