CAPS Rating:
*****

Exchange Traded Funds

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 has been a good investment for me the last 2 1/2 years but I just sold out all my shares yesterday.

Slump might not be totally over, but I think the worst is behind this stock. It has a very good yield right now, too.

EFA will continue to lose ground until the US market climbs out of what will be a several month long bear market. A good ETF with low costs, and a good way to gain European exposure, but tied closely to the dropping US markets.

Here is a five-star stock with at least 50 all-stars picking it to outperform, and it is within 5% of its 52-week low.

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