Virgin Media, Inc. (VMED)

CAPS Rating:
**

The Company is a U.K. entertainment and communications business providing the first 'quad-play' offering of television, broadband, fixed line telephone and mobile telephone services in the United Kingdom.

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.

VMEDs most recent "good" news is that his has cut its losses for the last quarter. Yet is has consistantly underperformed, while its chief rival, BSY, has only taken a slight cut in its profits. With no new technologies, releases or other profit boosters on the horizon, the best it can hope for is to slowly curb its losses by gaining more subscribers. I expect VMED to continue to slip for at least a few more months

I could write a book about how much I like virgin mobile, but I'll leave it simple. I like this company's style and vision a lot. I don't know anything about their cable and content areas, but I imagine they are run under the same philosophy. Well priced, flexible, helpful, friendly, and not corporately uptight. Also, they are visually growing pretty fast in the US for a company across seas.

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. 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!
