AutoNation, Inc. (AN)

CAPS Rating:
**

The Company operates in a single reporting segment, automotive retailing. It offers a range of automotive products and services, including new vehicles, used vehicles, vehicle maintenance and repair services, vehicle parts, extended service contracts.

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.

The US economy is hurting and what do we do when money is tight. We don't buy a brand new car. We opt to buy a used car and I believe auto nation will be a part in that play for people the need to get to work everyday. It sucks when you live in the suburbs, but work in the city.

People will choose to buy a new car, whether brand new or just "new to them," in the near future. The catalyst for this purchase will be high gas prices.
