Protection One Inc. (PONE)

CAPS Rating:
*

The Company is engaged in the business of providing security alarm monitoring services, which includes sales, installation and related servicing of security alarm systems for residential and business customers.

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.

In addition to this failure add poor customer service in their residential business and you have attrition rates much higher than normal. I see the stock finding true value between 3 and 4 dollars and a new management team by this time next year.
