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.

I'm gonna give SarahGen the credit on this one, then I decided to look up some technicals and fundamentals, for maybe some form of a bottom, because this really is an attempt at catching a falling knife.

I'm pretty sure one of my exes uses their makeup...but then again I think she also us...More

TONS, and I mean, TONS, of competition in mineral makeup now, everywhere from higher end cosmetics to drugstore brands. Plus, I've never been convinced the "infomercial" route was ever a very good thing for its brand in general.

I'm also not comfortable with the amount of debt it has. It seems to ...More

Recs 0 (BARE) kayakingkarl (46.10) Submitted: 11/15/08 6:00 AM : Start Price: $4.48 BARE Score: -15.58 This company has been doing well despite a tough economy. They are doing something right. Lady Fools, we could really use your opinions on their products here. This is an incredible value stock which appears to have real 10 bagger possibilities over the next few years. It is undervalued (cheap) at the time of this writing. I will most likely be adding this one to my portfolio for real. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 0 (BARE) medusasbedhead (< 20) Submitted: 11/11/08 7:35 PM : Start Price: $4.56 BARE Score: 14.92 Too many cheaper/better quality competitors out there; market is getting saturated w/mineral makeup. I suspect Bare Escentuals is going to have to either reformulate or lower prices to survive in its particular sector. Hell, even Maybelline has come out w/a new mineral makeup line. When you can buy these things for a fraction of what the name brand charges at your local CVS/Target, the middle class market is going to fall away from the pricier brands like BE.

Recs 0 (BARE) kcanant (99.41) Submitted: 11/01/08 8:33 AM : Start Price: $11.51 BARE Score: -32.54 Bad report Oct 08. Increased inventory. Decreased earnings. Tom E believes inventory problem is d/t pre-Christmas build up and that BARE is moving towards higher margin business. Others worry that we have misjudged this company. I would be worried if I owned a lot, but I have only a small position (too small to loose sleep over) and don't mind waiting to see how this one ends up.
