Hormel Foods Corp (HRL)

CAPS Rating:
*****

Engaged in the production of a variety of meat and food products and the marketing of these products throughout the United States.

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.

Founded in 1881 by George A. Hormel & Company and changed its name to Hormel Company in 1995. I love their products. I still eat "SPAM" sandwiches often. As long as this world keeps eating to live, then Hormel will be around to make sure were fed. So invest in a company that feeds us daily.

E2008-08-21 Short Rank: 1 Just warned. Higher input costs not able to be passed onto consumer. Probably falls another 10% prior to earnings.

In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

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