Best Buy Co., Inc. (BBY)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is a specialty retailer of consumer electronics, home-office products, entertainment software, appliances and related services.

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.

retail will turn around and Best Buy (which is the best place for consumer electronics) will be north of 40, perhaps even 50, by 2010

Lower discretionary income equates to lower sales for the likes of BBY. Big overhead will also not allow them to compete solely on price as they face ever-stiffening competition from Amazon, Netflix, NewEgg, and other brick-and-mortar-disruptors...

As discretionary income continues to fall, so will electronics sales.

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!
