CAPS Rating:

Operates ethical businesses, focused on a healthy products portfolio that promotes the health and well-being of its communities and environmental responsibility.

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.

This country needs more companies like this... When you look at all of the losers out to make a quick buck (including in the white house) it's enough to make you sick. These guys set a good example in this regard, and I think morally people will be drawn to it like moths to a light bulb.

They are producing ethenal at the present and with petroleum fuels going sky high I believe that this company is poised to grow into the alternative fuel market.

For starters, how do you like this B.S. mission statement: Operates ethical businesses, focused on a healthy products portfolio that promotes the health and well-being of its communities and environmental responsibility. OK, they're actually not so bad, and with their 35% haircut today they are only mildly overpriced. But they still trade at 30 times earnings and may be vulnerable to an economic slowdown; after all, when times are tough, maybe you compromised and buy the regular soy milk...
