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 players 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.

On my last flight between Anchorage and Seattle they actually had a few passengers standing in the aisles!!! Amazing. That's how much demand there is for airline tickets! The folks that were standing received 25% off and food vouchers. It was funny to watch them during takeoff and landing, but they did alright. Also they had easier access to the bathrooms than those of us in the seats.





Don't tell the FAA.





In terms of name brand ALK is the best outside of Southwest Airlines. Management is a bunch of losers but should be given credit for not going bankrupt. Shareholders have not fared well since they kicked Mark Air out of Alaska over 10 years ago. Even with a Monopoly in the Pacific NW they have performed worse than a savings account in that time span.





Just looking for a minor correction here.
