CAPS Rating:
*****

Engaged primarily in the production, acquisition & distribution of entertainment, educational & information programming & software, the retail sale & licensing of branded & other specialty products & the provision of creative, media management & network.

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.

Once restructuring and new stock is issued; Discovery should take off. Even though at the current price the future P/E should be a bit on the high side. A lot of water cooler conversation at work about the programs. Educational and non-fictional programming is taking off and DISCA already has a huge database to pull from. Plus they are constantly building on this every season. The jury is still out on Planet Green and since I don't get Discovery Health I'll have a problem trying to judge it when it converts to OWN. I feel the only down side is the stock will languish in the low 20's and the high side will be in the high 30's.

Discovery is a step ahead of the Educational media. Going "Green" is an exciting new trend and they are in the lead.
