Alcan, Inc. (USA) (AL)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is engaged, together with its Subsidiaries, Joint Ventures and Related Companies, in a variety of aspects of the aluminum and packaging businesses on an international scale.

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.

I know these are "historic" times but AL is priced way above anything it's ever seen by multiple measures. It may still have more to go...every shock to the economy sends more money to stuff in the ground...but there's a long-term optimism already assumed here that I don't think is sustainable. Li...More

Strong and stable, I think that this company will likely see strong growth, since almost all metals have seen a significnt increase in price (especially in scrap and salvage business) and shortages are becoming more and more of a problem.

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. 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!
