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.

California is the 9th largest economy in the world and the Gubernator has it in good shape. Its growth should be something to watch. Granite Construction is there to meet their needs. As for its shareholders it is increasing their value but their is currently a great buying opportunity right now. It is also at a significant discount to future earnings.

This stock is starting to look very attractive - undervalued, some insider purchases, USA infrastructure just waiting to take off with passage of federal highway bill.

This stock is a result of the market having expectations too high and after 3 missed quarters. They dropped to $30 after being at $70. They are not a $70 stock, but they aren't a $30 stock either...
