The Company is a developer and supplier of custom-designed user interface solutions that enable people to interact more easily and intuitively with mobile computing, entertainment and other electronic devices.

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.

seems like a buy-in point. love the technology. Gismos can become too complicated for most people to get. Making technology intuitive is where the money is.

Recs 0 (SYNA) AnomaLee (99.76) Submitted: 7/02/08 2:33 AM : Start Price: $40.97 SYNA Score: -5.60 ...because this stock is over-valued right now Don't get me wrong I love Synaptics and their technology. The penetration of their touch technology and supply deals with Apple are great. it's possible that my call may very well be wrong. However, I bought shares when the price was below $28 and sold off my position above $33. I'm a little worried that the shares may be getting ahead of themselves after gaining 7% in one day. There is large short interest in the stock which I last checked to be around 40% of float. I believe the recent climb is due to mass short-covering. Although, earnings per share declined by over 45% net cash flow reported a dramatic increase. I believe this was largely due to a large conversion of short-term investments. I did some further glancing before and I remember asking myself "Why is this company involved in auction rate securities?" The management discussion was vague and the adjustment was for $2 million. To be honest I didn't do enough investigating, but it scared me enough to sale my shares. Anytime I see such a large short position it makes me wonder "What do they know that I don't know?"

Recs 0 (SYNA) samm107 (60.51) Submitted: 6/04/08 5:20 PM : Start Price: $31.07 SYNA Score: 46.25 Many people have been extremely skeptical of this stock since it was performing very poorly for the past eight months. Right now though it has been on the rise. Synaptics is a very innovative company creating chips and sensors for electronics including PDAs, cell phones, and currently most research geared toward laptops and notebooks. I personally love the new enhanced gesture recognitionand the smart touch capability. These new products have really made my business much easier. The company's revenue was above the analysts predictions for the 4th quarter in 08. With technology on the rise I expect Synaptics to surpass all expectations of the skeptics.
