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 stock has been hit hard, like most retailers. I am a loyal Ann Taylor customer, and I always look for sales. At $25/share, this is a big one.





They have the best, decently priced clothes on the market for professional women. We have to work, and we can't go naked. ...More

Older women may have more money, but they also have more sense. Sales will drop at least until next year, but the costs of business will not take a holiday, therefore the stock will drop with other retailers, but at a faster pace than the overall S&P 500.

This is a year long short because of extremely high operating costs, and those are likely to rise as the economy struggles. They don't have any debt which is good, and the P/E isn't awful, so they may recover in the long run but in the short run I foresee name brands clothes struggling with profits.
