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.

Ok, I've waffled on this one for a while and resisted picking it until now. I believe the recent haircut provides us a good buying opportunity. Seems like a well-run business that's relatively immune from outsourcing and credit problems that plague some other industries.
