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.

PTC's technology is difficult to implement and quite costly. Once the market is saturated for PLM at major companies, PTC will have to reduce the price drastically to appeal to smaller firms. Thus, like thier CAD market, income will drop. The high flyer of the 90's will be the low flyer of the 00'...More

Parametrics has had steady sales growth, is very competitive in it's market, continues to deliver and is a global player. It shouldn't be affected as much by the dollar and is moderately recession proof. I expect it to be above 25 this time next year.

The recent acquisition of UGS by Siemens will definitely leave customers lost in the shuffle and history has shown that hardware companies usually don't merge well with software companies, this along with PMTC strong showings in the last quarter surpassing goals set and setting new ones for future quarters this company can only go up.

Thus, like thier CAD market, income will drop. The high flyer of the 90's will be the low flyer of the 00's. Both UGS and DASTY implementation teams are vastly more experienced in large scall implementations.
