CAPS Rating:

Develops, markets, sells, and supports data storage networking products and services. Provides a line of products that enables companies to implement highly available, scalable, manageable, and secure environments for data storage applications.

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.

Here's a shot at tech catchin a bid soon. A break over the 50day ema should confirm the reversal. A +11 pt move (-4 to +7) in the MRI bars (below) suggest more up-leg is possible and likely.

ALWAYS where there is smoke there is FIRE. Maybe nothing comes of the allegations, maybe this time nothing is wrong and the SEC jumped too soon to investigate one of its own, I don't like to buck historical patterns.

Recs 0 (BRCD) jmofield (74.63) Submitted: 5/13/08 6:28 PM : Start Price: $7.66 BRCD Score: -1.44 I have decided for the next serveral weeks to change my investment strategy to be short stocks trading between $1.50 and below $10 with a market cap of more than $100 million. My goal is to acheive at least a 60% sucess rate of beating the S&P Index. I am looking for 30% of my picks beating the S&P Index by more than 5% with an average per pick of at least 1.50. I am only looking to hold these positions for approximately 10-15 days. All the picks that I select are from screening criteria that I have developed using software from Vectorvest. I find it to be a good screening tool. For game playing purposes, since I always try to have 200 picks going at once, it's a shot gun approach with only short term trading in mind.
