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 players 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.

Avatar FromLaVega (98.10) Submitted: 7/08/08 2:28 AM : Outperform Start Price: $100.17 WLL Score: -5.85

Whiting Petroleum engages in the exploration and production of natural gas and oil in the Permian Basin; Rocky Mountains; the Mid-Continent; Michigan, and the Gulf Coast. It was founded in 1980 and was a subsidiary of Alliant Energy until 2003. The Celero acquisition in 2005 transformed the firm from a natural-gas company to an oil company, as oil now accounts for 78% of its proved reserve base, and natural gas accounts for the remainder.
