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.

Way too cheap in valuation, they are the new #2 automaker now, not to mention they make great cars. There cars also have great resale value, so they are the only company anyone should care about.

No one is buying cars, unless they can get gas savings. This is a good company but right now for the next few weeks they are going to fall.

Great company that makes quality automobiles. Their cars last twice as long as american made rivals from GM and Ford and are cheaper to repair (well maybe not Lexus). Although not the best looking balance sheet, has a P/E around 11, with solid year over year increases in income.
