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.

Wall Street analysts are about as useful as a bucket of warm spit in my opinion, and they must all be raised in a chicken coop. Trident Microsystems Inc. is a well run company that just grew earnings 24% for the quarter, year over year, and the stock price got hammered almost 30%. Since then the stock price has continued to depreciate without much logic to back up the devaluation. They have zero debt as I write this pitch, good profitability, and around 200 mil in the bank. Oh and they make integrated circuits and software for digital media... yeah... there's a dying sector. You know what they're right lets sell our shares....the sky is falling, the sky is falling.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
