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 locked in a positive CAPs gain and am going in for a second bite of the cherry at a slightly lower price. This should help my accuracy score overall after my mis-adventures in "doubling down" in CAPs.

Sweet deal overall in CAPs!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can tell that I am getting a bit lazy with the DD so I am making a habit out of shamelessly poaching ideas and hot tips (horrors! but hey, it's with great investor backings).

To be honest, I can't imagine how people can be so good at monitoring hundereds stocks. I am flat out humbled by the intensity and humbly give up on competing on that ground. Thank god for the newsletters and the forums!

So here's the deal with RSTI
1) Bill said under 60 is good
2) It's on top of the top picks for new money
3) It's Bill's top idea in the roundtable
4) TMF Platoish says that it's a stock you can keep in the freezer and come back after 10 years. I will do that! Stan, you're on.
5) I have a fleeting memory of Rofin Sinar laser system sold to my company. Since there were no negotiations on the price (because we in procurement couldn't do much), that sounds like a great company.
6) In short, two master investors (do check out their CAPs scores ... ) says that this is a great stock to own at these prices.

Not bad for DD, huh?

Here is a five-star stock with at least 50 all-stars picking it to outperform, and it is within 5% of its 52-week low.

I own IPGP and had RSTI pegged as a competitor soon to lose market share to IPGP s new technology but am beginning to think they still have several years to go.

More to follow soon as soon as I listen to some quarterly calls.

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!
