Sun Microsystems, Inc. (JAVA)

CAPS Rating:
**

The Company provides network computing infrastructure solutions that include Computer Systems, Data Management, Support Services and Client Solutions and Educational Services.

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.

Almost going under gave SUN a good look at itself. They're now taking a more conservative growth path while leveraging there impressive IP.

Unless this company can find a way to truly reinvent themselves--ie. come up with a viable product that ANYBODY can understand--they will go BANKRUPT. PERIOD.

This one is going to surprise some people, it has too many decent products and has too good of a reputation, plus it it goes down too much further they are going to be too much of a steal for another company with a lot of cash on hand. I like this one for future growth, as well as take over. looks perfect.

JAVA reverse-split (1-4) about 8 months ago. That put it at $20.00. Today it hit $7.77 intraday -- below its all-time low. I think it's around its bottom. It's a great time to start to ACCUMULATE.

Sun is a company that has outstanding products. The technology and reliability of their products and services pioneer and guide the entire industry. You can't keep the Sun from shining for long. It will eventually emerge from the clouds!

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. 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!
