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.

this well managed company is posied to offer its products and services to companies who do business over the internet and wireless airwaves. Revenues and profits should grow at a respeciful rate of 20% per year over the next 5-years. I look for the stock price to hit $100 by 2011.

Internet is the core business of this era. There is no way


we can live without Internet. It is a kind of energy that people need to live. The more number of business grow, the more number of internet domain is required. In few years, there will be a domain name for each family. Just like phone.

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