Owens & Minor, Inc. (OMI)

CAPS Rating:
***

A distributor of medical and surgical supplies to the acute-care market, a healthcare supply-chain management company and a national direct-to-consumer supplier of testing and monitoring supplies for diabetics.

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.

I've tried to get into medical suppliers in the past with mixed results. With the boomers needing medical care more and more I think their potential is huge.

This one is close to its 52 week high and I should probably wait until it corrects some more, but whatever, I'm impatient.

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!
