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.

Overanalyzed, Overburdened, Overregulated and in this economic client, overpriced. I have tried to like this puppy but after some study,I'm even more underwhelmed.

If you want security in a growing area, try Dominion (D). If you want to see excellent management and infrastr...More

Recs 0 (ED) gea1968 (41.72) Submitted: 8/28/08 9:54 PM : Start Price: $41.41 ED Score: 2.04 Over the next 12 months, I expect the bear market to continue. If I could choose "cash" to outperform, I would do so. In a market like this, a stable utility with a dividend yield over 4% should outperform. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 3 (ED) TMFHighYield (76.22) Submitted: 8/19/08 9:20 AM : Start Price: $40.01 ED Score: 5.39 Chosen to be a part of the High Yield Portfolio strategy. Originally created by Fool UK's Stephen Bland (TMFPyad) in November 2000, the High-Yield Portfolio (HYP) strategy invests in a diversified group of 15 blue chip dividend-paying stocks with strong dividend cover, relatively low debt, and a history of increasing dividend payouts. The holding period is theoretically forever -- unless a stock is bought out or cuts its dividend. Sound crazy? Well, the point of the portfolio is not necessarily for capital gains (although that's certainly a bonus), but to produce increasing amounts of annual dividend income. Daily price fluctuations matter not -- it's the income that matters -- so it removes emotional trading from the picture entirely. Doubters should note that the original UK HYP from November 2000 returned 68% through December 2007 (while the FTSE 100 lost 8%). What's more, the portfolio income payout increased 29% over that seven year period, from 3,451 pounds to 4,462 pounds per year. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

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