Health Care REIT, Inc. (HCN)

CAPS Rating:
*****

A self-administered, equity real estate investment trust that invests across the full spectrum of senior housing and health care real estate including skilled nursing facilities, independent living facilities and medical office buildings.

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.

As the population ages there will be a greater need for senior housing, skilled nursing and independent living facilities. This sector can only grow.
