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.

People are not getting any better at mathematics and will continue to need fancy looking powerful calculators that they have no idea how to use.

This company has never burst out of the gate and crashed before the finish line. Even though they are, in my opinion, one of the most forgotten companies out there (as in never seeing ads for it) they have been steady and strong. This is definitely a long term, but strong investment. No portfolio would be considered rounded without a hefty load of these.
