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.

This is a "sleeper" company that is finally being recognized, making the ticker as a Nasdaq top ten this week and getting its first "strong buy" from an analyst (merriman et al).

The manufacturing process and technology developed by Nanosolar will revolutionize the industry, and PV developers like this one will either adapt or suffer the consequences. Nanosolar has finally placed solar power on a competitive plain with coal from a price perspective.

Ascent makes rolls of lightweight CIGS on plastic. They are one third owned by Norsk Hydro, whose building systems group could probably use everything they'll be able to produce. They also have relationships with a Spanish roofing company, Itochu in Japan, and ICP Solar in Canada. Their material will be easier to use and less expensive to install in small applications than anything else out there. They are having success with their initial pilot plant and they are building out their first 30MW plant next year. They are priced at $9 after a secondary offering at $14 about two months ago. Their market cap is only $172MM, with a large percentage of that as cash.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
