Ball Corp (BLL)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is a manufacturer of metal and plastic packaging, for beverages, foods and household products, and a supplier of aerospace and other technologies and services to government and commercial customers.

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.

actually, i have seen better fundamentals ,but this company is still doing well, and if we have this much talked about slowdown in the economy, this company should benefit from lower costs on goods,which should translate to better earnings .
