CAPS Rating:

The Company designs, manufactures, and services energy control systems and components for aircraft and industrial engines and turbines.

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.

Solid company, solid products. Industry leader for overspeed protection of large turbines. Have strong ability to work pricing - if your 30,000 HP turbine wrecks and costs you several $MM, then your willingness to pay $ to keep this from happening is high.

Recs 0 (WGOV) OtherOracleOfOMA (34.82) Submitted: 10/02/08 11:54 PM : Start Price: $31.15 WGOV Score: -1.69 I know a lot of investors labor under the politically-motivated delusion that coal and nuclear are feasible energy sources while wind is some pie-in-the-sky liberal fantasy, but that couldn't be further from the truth. In 20 years, the developed world will get, at very least, half of their electricity from wind, mark my words. The wind power supply chain will boom over the next decade.
