CAPS Rating:

The Company is a specialty retailer of everyday casual apparel, accessories and footwear designed to meet the needs of active teens and young adults.

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.

Doing horribly now, but not likely to have a liquidity event and management seems to know how to right the ship. Who knows how low things will go, but I expect a couple of bags minimum over the next 5 years. High risk, however.

Their finances don't look good. They are in the red, not producing earnings for their shareholders, and if the economy is slowing, most consumer discretionary sectors will probably suffer even more.

Massive drop on a retailer taking it below tangible book value (of course, that book value could quickly get written down in a fashion retailer) might be worth a shot, since they have done a lot of cleaning up of the ugly corners of the business and are now at least turning a profit.

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!
