CAPS Rating:

The Company manufactures a range of polymer products for industrial, agricultural, automotive, commercial, and consumer markets.

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.

Recs 0 (MYE) devoish (99.53) Submitted: 10/25/08 9:37 PM : Start Price: $9.55 MYE Score: -37.99 More debt than I like these days, and an economic downturn will not help. 10% of sales from exports will likely increase as US sales decrease. Had a buyout in place for almost twice this price until GS decided to hoard money. I am personally very familiar with their automotive products, and they are the low cost provider of quality. If their other products are similar this should be a good company for a long time to come. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.

Goldman wasn't the only party inerested in MYE. Once the money starts flowing again, the merger activity should pickup again. Long on this >=2 years.

Recs 1 (MYE) TMFMattyA (92.32) Submitted: 4/17/08 3:44 PM : Start Price: $12.18 MYE Score: -15.20 One man's junk is another man's treasure, right? Well, Goldman Sachs might not think Myers is junk, but it sure seems like the rest of the market thinks so after the failed buyout attempt. I'm happy to add Myers to my treasure chest. It has a large portfolio of diverse products that people aren't going to stop using anytime soon. Moreover, Myers has a strong history of generating stable free cash flow, and a management team that is focused on paying down debt, cutting costs, and growing the business. I think an investment in Myers at these prices will deliver long-term market-beating returns. Heck, if Myers was good enough for Goldman at $22.50, it is good enough for me at $12!

Recs 1 (MYE) evanmacdonald (< 20) Submitted: 1/23/08 7:01 PM : Start Price: $10.93 MYE Score: -10.59 Worries that Goldman Sachs will back out of the original buyout deal has cut this stock in half recently, but I think not getting bought out will benefit shareholders in the long term because the fundamentals of this company are so strong, with a P/E of only 7.5 and PEG of .35. Not only that, but the $35 million that Goldman already had to pay out for pushing back the buyout deadline could go a long way towards paying off the $227M in debt that the company currently carries, my only knock against it, or could be used to fuel continued growth.
