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.

New legistration going forward to futher regulate windpower. This will have a negitive effect on companies moving to or expanding to this free power souce. Along with faster than expect growth this past 6 months, I expect a slow pull back till Congress has their say.

Cars made primarily of carbon fiber composites can shave a ton of weight (literally) that doesn't need to be pulled around by gas engines. Imagine the fuel savings!





Actually, no need to imagine. There are ventures out there right now is building small one or two seaters that get 100 mpg. Search "carbon composite car 100 mpg."

Just like Timken, they should have a big quarter - carbon fiber windmill blades - wind power is where a lot of money is being invested. Also, they could be a prime target for a European manufacturer buy-out.

They are a carbon fiber producer and wind towers will soon cover a large part of the Great Plains (as well parts of Europe & Asia). I can only see upside right now.
