WMS Industries, Inc. (NYSE:WMS)

The selection could be a little gamey (cue rim shot) but WMS rolls in with a long-term return forecast of approximately 20%, an excellent quality rating and an A+ financial strength rating.

The new Lord of the Rings slot machine series is going to make WMS a lot of money.

High accounts receivable, valuation versus competition, insider selling. Persistent unemployment can indirectly slow revenue.

So I can see how this recommendation works out

WMS is headed on the way down, just look at the insider downloading that has been happening!

WMS is a growing company in a flat industry. The industry leader IGT is losing marketshare to WMS. WMS is increasing the base of leased machines (which generate long term profits at the expense of short term sales) and taking the leadership role in new technology. Walk a casino and look at he games that are beining played.

One of few stocks in the world that seem just too expensive even though it operates in an industry outside of the FIRE sector of economy (FIRE = Financial, Insurance & Real Estate).
The valuation to earnings potential going forward is not worth it, nothing going for it on the dividend end, and there would be other companies in the sector that are much more desirable.



I'd sell this company to put my money elsewhere. In fact, I'd rather use that money and pour it across residential real estate, apartment buildings, other stocks, commodities, or bonds. Even if it survives the next decade, it will lag its peers and it will likely lag S&P 500.


SELL.

These picks are within this CAPs account that is market neutral - all longs are offset by a short. All long & short picks are diversified across industries & world location to limit downside exposure. This CAPS account will maintain at the very least 20 picks and at the very most 80 picks. Picks will be ended in long/short pairs to remain neutral.

I haven't been watching these stocks long, but these look the most appetizing as of right now.

Strong dividend payer

Gotta put the garbage somewhere!

People like to gamble. This stock seems like a fun gamble as the gambling industry continues to grow across the country.

THIS STOK IS NOT A GAMBLE.......

These guysare stealing slot machine market all over the place from IGT. This is big business. New casinos, more slots constantly, plus all old ones need upgrades.

WMS makes the best slot games by far.

I started watching this one on 12/26/07, just as it broke out into a new high, and I thought about buying it, but it has been getting hurt in the recent correction. It's trying to fight back, but it's still hurting.

Fundamentals are solid, and when a new bull market begins, this one would be a good one to watch.

break resistance. buy buy buy

Possible that legislators in Illinois will approve multiple casinos and with WMS being local to Chicago, they are licking their chops in anticipation of this market opportunity.

Unease over real estate market conditions will push home owners into staying put longer and investing in remodels/redecoration projects over the near term.
