Overstock.com, Inc. (OSTK)

CAPS Rating:
*

The Company is an online closeout retailer offering discount brand name merchandise, including bed-and-bath goods, home decor, kitchenware, watches, jewelry, electronics and computers, sporting goods, apparel and designer accessories.

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.

As of close of business on 2/20/08, this was a 5-star Morningstar stock trading at less than half of its Morningstar fair value.

You know when Overstock.com advertises that
"it's all about the 'O' "
I don't think most viewers realize that Overstock means the number, not the letter. As in zero profits. Imagine that, truth in advertising.

But there's so much more to dislike about the '0'

Are we witnessing the mother of all squeezes? I have no idea if this will last longer than a couple of extra days, but this stock , it's company, and it's CEO-s have been vocal against naked shorts- they're share holders might be getting rewarded for that right now.

I don't get why this goes up but since this it only CAPS I'll bet for the fall mainly because companies like this are a dime a dozen and I really mean there worth that. Ok if for some weird reason you want to invest in a online store you can do better then this even wal-mart would be better simply because they have more going for them. Don’t get me wrong I don’t recommend ever buying in to internet stock there almost always pump and dump there are exceptions to every rule though But the O isn’t one. Overstock is simply overpriced

reload. so they beat Q1 estimates - Q2 will be dismal, and the price in a few months will reflect that.

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!
