Genuine Parts Company (GPC)

CAPS Rating:
*****

A service organization engaged in the distribution of automotive replacement parts, industrial replacement parts, office products and electrical/electronic materials.

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.

I simply used the screener to find all of the 5 star stocks with the greatest 52-week losses. 5 stars should make them good picks and the high 52-week loss should make them cheap. We’ll see how it works!

Solid fundamentals. Has lost money some years but at this price I would be willing to ride out the business cycle for a very long time.

Considering the recent change in the economic situation it has become more feasible to repair than replace. There is simply not enough disposable income to continue to through things away rather than fixing it. Go green!

This is my play on green technology...what could be more energy efficient than repairing your 1998 Nissan Sentra that gets 28 mpg? Sure, it's not as sexy as running out and dropping $20K+ on one of those new fancy hybrids...

This pick also fits "me" as an investor quite well: I grew up around parts stores and machine shops, so I guess that I "know" this.

Lastly, GPC is a well run company that has shareholder friendly management and pays an increasing dividend.
