Cogent, Inc. (COGT)

CAPS Rating:
*****

A provider of Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems and other fingerprint biometrics solutions to governments, law enforcement agencies and other organizations worldwide.

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.

Technology in the private and govt security sectors is an ever increasing demand. I feel that the leadership is good and the future for this co is good. It seems to me that a recent gap down in stock value has put it in a buy situation.

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