CAPS Rating:

An independent owner and operator of wireless communications towers in United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Company's two business lines are: site leasing and site development.

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.

SBA Communications is a company I fully expected to go under four years ago but they somehow survived. Ironically four years later nothing has changed. They have nearly TWO billion dollars in outstanding debt, revenues are growing at a meager 11%, and losses continue to pile up. Another SBAC tradema...More

Recs 0 (SBAC) poorman11 (51.96) Submitted: 4/24/08 1:48 PM : Start Price: $32.30 SBAC Score: -15.57 Grossly overvalued stock,which has had a wild run over the past few years. Look for valuations to decline, resistance at 200 DMA will keep this down in the short term. Long term outlook is bearish. Possible short candidate.

Recs 1 (SBAC) NeroSagetrade (90.11) Submitted: 10/11/07 8:05 PM : Start Price: $34.65 SBAC Score: -17.96 SBA Communications is a company I fully expected to go under four years ago but they somehow survived. Ironically four years later nothing has changed. They have nearly TWO billion dollars in outstanding debt, revenues are growing at a meager 11%, and losses continue to pile up. Another SBAC trademark is that they have missed analysts expectations four quarters in a row, reporting greater losses. If we hadn't already touched on how poorly managed this company is, it trades at 9 times sales and a whopping 15 times book value. SBAC is just a staggeringly bad company and somehow its rallied 10,000% in 4 years..reality will kick in very shortly. Nero Sagetrade Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Will more towers be required to handle the additional usage? Is coverage available everywhere cell customers want it? yes yes no means towers will become more valuable going forward.

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!
