CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company is a developer, manufacturer and marketer of engineered specialty chemicals and sells a mix of products to a range of customers, including manufacturers of electronics, building and construction materials, automotive parts, packaging.

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.

Also, compared to GRA (chapter 11) and CEM (also has an agribusiness edge, which may not be an edge at all), it's the only one of its peers not yet trading between its 50 and 200 day MAs.
