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.

I'm playing "hedge fund" this week. The way I figure it, to secure a top-notch accuracy rating in CAPS, I need to get twice as many picks right as wrong. Based on what I wrote in: http://www.fool.com/investing/dividends-income/2007/06/15/st... , I've found my first three candid...More

Staples is beating it in every aspect and with the Corporate Express acquisition all but a done deal there's little to speak of for OfficeMax to turn its around any more. So why the outperform?

It's a takeover target now in a weakened position. Stplaes won't be able to do it for awhile because of CXP but does Office Depot step in or some other partner? I think the upside here is in a buyout though it might not be right away.

This is a fairly well run retailer. While I do think this recession is not going to be a walk in the park, I think OMX is a good play on the retailers. I think the extent to which their business declines as a result of the recession will be less than other retailers as businesses do need supplies. The only question is how competitive does pricing become in the space. It also has a high yield.

OfficeMax is severely underpriced just look at the p/e ratio of it and its competitors. Staples is priced around 16 p/e ratio while OfficeMax is around 7 p/e ratio. I was looking at the balance sheet and running some simple liquidity ratios and everything seems to check out fine. The only difference is that OfficeMax is smaller compared to Staples. You could also compare OfficeMax with Office Depot. When I was first looking at office max it was around 19 dollars per share now people are buying it up to 20.79 and it will only go up because it is so under-priced. If you want a safe bet during these risky times, I have to say this is my very top pick but I'm just a finance student at University of Washington so I'm too broke to put any money at where I think is making money.

Every since the market wanted OMX to hit .93 and missed, it has been going to down every since. It has lowered more than enough and I personally take advantage. They put up good numbers and you need to look into OMX.
