Invacare Corp (IVC)

CAPS Rating:
**

The Company designs, manufactures and distributes an extensive line of health care products for the non-acute care environment, including the home health care, retail and extended care markets.

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.

Heavy Institutional ownership, negative growth, too much debt, too much debt. With a relative strength of 36, there is not much doubt that this company is going to be an under performer.

Read the conference calls. Analysts overreacted to first quarter and missed the big move. This will just keep going up from here.

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