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.

Love the dog supplies, carhartt jeans and tools galore. I see this co. as a mix between a country store, Home Depot and PetSmart.

I feel that TSC has some serious issues at both the leadership role at headquarters, and at the store manager level. The problem is they are not paying their store managers a competitive wage, and are losing them left and right. Forget about what you hear from company documents, turnover is well o...More

Strong agricultural product resource stock. In the past it has had great dividends as well. Great P/E ration. It's been a strong performer for years.

I feel that TSC has some serious issues at both the leadership role at headquarters, and at the store manager level. The problem is they are not paying their store managers a competitive wage, and are losing them left and right. Forget about what you hear from company documents, turnover is well over what they admit. To be successful, I believe that you must keep your top preforming managers.





Also, this company is way to "top-heavy". Way to much money is spent at the posh corporate headquarters in Nashville...while the stores are understaffed and not adequately supplied with payroll.





Although this stock is trading near 52 week lows. I believe there is many other companies with much more upside than TSCO. Try Citigroup, Tesoro, or Six Flags. Good Luck.
