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.

Cable Maker rocks, they have distribution in India as well as the West. Great combined investment to take advantage of the growth overseas while the dollar is low

I simply used the screener to find all of the 5 star stocks with the greatest 52-week losses. 5 stars should make them good picks and the high 52-week loss should make them cheap. We’ll see how it works!

looking to stocks that a recession will hit hard.

I REALLY LIKE BGC LONG TERM.

over the summer as the market sinks i think bgc could see new lows.

Reasons:
1) higher interest rates.
2) Results in less investment
3) Higher raw materials costs
4) margins shrink

Solid balance sheet but do not think they are going to be able to fight the headwinds of the coming recession.
