Briggs & Stratton Corp (BGG)

CAPS Rating:
**

The Company is a producer of air cooled gasoline engines and engine powered outdoor equipment. It designs, manufactures, markets and services products for original equipment manufacturers.

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.

Good company with an established brand a solid dividend, but it will take awhile for the business to turn around. They need a strong snow and hurricane season in 2007.

BGG got a good boost from the "three stooges" of the US "fascist" financial markets (Bernanke, Paulson, and Cox). It will continue to go south when the markets as a whole finish their correction and continue sliding down, Down, DOWN...

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