CAPS Rating:

A communication services businesses, which operates through a number of multinational and national advertising and marketing services companies that are organised into four business segments.

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.

will outperform the US ad companies in a big way - acquisition of 24/75real media is a portent of things to come from this company. i think sorrell lives up to his reputation as a bean counter - and so long as he's there to lead the company (and he fires lazarus of ogilvy US), WPP is in good hands.

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!
