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.

Given the fatty American diet and continually increasing waistlines, the demand for cardiac related devices and management will continue to escalate. Sure thing.

I'm on the edge for this one!! There is always two sides to every story. On one hand, everyone needs medical services and as we all know, our waistlines are growing along with health risks involved. The more need for healthcare, the more you will go to the doctor. On the other hand of this, medical care is at an all time low. It's hard to go to the doctor if you don't have the money or insurance to do so. More and more people just "deal with it" to avoid heavy costs associated with medical care.

Any medical devices company seems like a pretty good outperform long-term. The baby boomers are going to spend almost all their accumulated wealth on keeping themselves alive sometime in the next ten to twenty years.

Good company. Lousy economy. Wait for the presidential election to be overwith. Barring terrorist attack, the medical tech stocks will get a honeymoon of sorts.
