CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of replacement parts for motor vehicles in the automotive aftermarket industry.

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.

Step into the batters box and watch this pitch: SMP's P/E and P/CF are both under 10 and it currently trades at book value EXCLUDING intangibles.

car part mfg, after market...with the economy the way it is, people will be fixing their cars, not so much buying new. This company has no employee's in China, and had a much higher high in the previous 52 weeks. I look for the upward trend to continue.

this stock is trashed. huge volume down on bad quarter numbers. further downside risk minimized. This auto parts company should benefit from diminished new auto sales as folk have to keep their old clunkers running. okay, its a hunch...
