CAPS Rating:
*

Exchange Traded Funds

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.

In the long-run, history suggests that bonds (here, long-term, investment grade bonds) will underperform stocks (in this case, S&P 500). So this is a no-brainer in CAPS as a long-term pick.

1. 9 to 1 underperform ratio from all-stars


2. Bonds are out of style right now (see Ken Fishers global yield curve)


3. Plenty of room to fall (current price $101.85)

We'll see how lousy I am at timing the market . . . but this is my attempt at saying the worst may be over and Long-term interest rates should begin to head higher.

Fixed income market is in a bubble, the yields are too low and do not reflect the reality of rising worldwide inflation. Get ready for a long term bear market in bonds

Bonds suck, especially now. If your yield can't beat inflation in an up market, your beat.

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!
