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.

One of my picks in terms of water as a commodity, necessity, and infrastructure play. Veolia Environment is well-diversified globally, with it's base in France, for example a desalination plant off of the coast of Israel. According to it's press release, 70% of it's sales are in euro's, so the dec...More

$25 billion debt. With a market cap of $28 billion. Yet profits only grew 9% last quarter.

With $1 billion in profits each year, it would take around 15 years just to pay back all the debt. And that is if they eliminate their massive dividend

Yet they fund their growth and a...More

Let's forget about the other things that this company does for the time being. Instead, let's focus on its core offerings in water and waste. This company offers just about every service there is linked to water and waste. Collection, purification, maintenance, infrastructure. Did I leave anything out? Their in just about every country in the world - the BRIC's, the Frontier, and the developed. In a world where a large percentage of hospital beds are filled due to lack of water or its contamination, this company offers and solves the needs of anything related to the world's future scarce resource that has no alternatives - water.

Solid foreign utility play. Long term water is the next oil. Huge dividend and getting their act together. I would like them to stop acquiring and focus on what they got which they appear to be doing.
