CAPS Rating:

A multinational diversified producer of premium specialty papers; manufactures and sells paper and reconstituted tobacco products to the tobacco industry as well as specialized paper products for use in other applications.

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.

After adding this stock, I'm assured of going to hell in a handbasket.

The company, like Alliance One International (AOI) is in the tobacco business, but unlike AOI, Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc. makes the paper that is used to make the cigarette, which is 90% of the company's business.

Recs 2 (SWM) wax (91.96) Submitted: 9/05/07 6:54 AM : Start Price: $21.80 SWM Score: -12.07 After adding this stock, I'm assured of going to hell in a handbasket. The company, like Alliance One International (AOI) is in the tobacco business, but unlike AOI, Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc. makes the paper that is used to make the cigarette, which is 90% of the company's business. The remaining 10% is reconstituted tobacco leaf used for cigarette fillers and fine stationary manufacturer. I believe a reasonable value for the stock is in the $60-$65 range and have set my entry target at $32, a first sell target at $61, and a close target at $66. The stock closed yesterday at $22.45 with first resistance at $26.52, second resistance at $26.55, and support at $18.03. I realize that I'm taking a bit of a risk here, adding the stock at this time since the upside reward and the downside risk from a trading perspective are about the same at 18%. But as any value investor will tell you, while it may hurt buying stocks as they fall, the pain subsides pretty quick when you're selling a stock that has reached it's estimated reasonable value. At any rate, I'm going to start adding this one to my real world portfolio over time, and it will more than likely end up a 2% position. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
