CAPS Rating:

A diversified media company with radio broadcasting, television broadcasting and magazine publishing operations.

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.

Recs 0 (EMMS) tvstaff (< 20) Submitted: 12/03/07 2:58 PM : Start Price: $3.86 EMMS Score: 44.08 EMMS now flirting with a $4.00 to $3.00 status and is nothing but junk. The smart money did well shorting this dog and based on their lack of ability to even make money in New York which is the #1DMA in the country, I'd say this company is dead as management is void of any idea of how to run the firm except into the ground. The real tragedy here is the employees of the company who have been sold a bill of goods. Some will not even get jobs in the industry. Others have lost great jobs. And some will have to take HUGE salary and position cuts and even move out of New York unless they learn other trades. I can't stress enough how important it is for those who can salvage ANYTHING at this point to get out. Get out of the stock, get out of the company. EMMS is a sinking ship and it's going down fast.

Revenues are down dramatically in both markets and according to the CEO, will be down for the foreseeable future. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 0 (EMMS) JesternotherFool (< 20) Submitted: 12/19/06 10:32 AM : Start Price: $8.12 EMMS Score: -50.19 Toward the end of November, EMMS distributed a one-time dividend of $4.00/share (!!). Of course the price dropped then and has remained in the low 8's the last couple weeks. But that means it's really equivalent to low 12's, and that's pretty much what EMMS was trading for since about mid-August, long before the dividend was announced. It's spent most of the year above that. Long-term, this company won't make you rich, but coming in at $8.20 and getting out at somewhere around $17 or $18 doesn't seem like a bad idea to me. That's where it spent nearly all of 2005. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment. Check to see if there's something you left out.
