NBTY, Inc. (NTY)

CAPS Rating:
****

An integrated manufacturer, marketer and retailer of nutritional supplements in the U.S., U.K. and internationally. The Company offers products under a number of brand names.

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.

Bought this baby in 97. Millions of baby boomers not getting younger. What's the first thing retirees do in the morning...TAKE THEIR VITAMINS! Demographics are on the side of this company. This one is a growth story for years to come.

NTY has a strong balance sheet that reflects their capability to withstand market downturn. In addition, they are vertically intergrated which allows them to compete well. In addition, many officers have completed a Trading Plan form which will allow them to sell shares after approximately March 2008.

Beat this Stock

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. 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!
