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.

This a competion pick against my friend. He subscribes to the view that the recent quarter was a reset quarter. The write downs of equipment, and the lowered outlook were to help the new management start with a clean slate. I took away a very different view from the events that transpired today (12.12.07).

Here's what made me uneasy:
*Missed earnings and I don't care why, that's bad.
*Beat on revenue. (I didn't know dividends were paid out in revenue)
*Lower margins (barf)
*Lowered guidence (Who would wipe out market value to give management an easier bar to clear? Those people own the stock)
*Huge amounts of debt 861m vs a market cap of 1.77B
*Trailing P/E > 66.50

Changing management after wrapping up the acquisition of Ocular makes me wonder. Why are the big guys jumping ship?
