CAPS Rating:

The Company is a prime system contractor in aircraft modernization and maintenance, Command, Control, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance systems and government services. Also supplies high technology products and systems.

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.

Besides its well known technology, the company has a firm hold on Emergency Management and Consequence Management training contracts with the Department of Defense and multiple state governments. Within these 'boutique' contracts, the profit to cost margin is excellent.

Recs 0 (LLL) MrEuro (72.23) Submitted: 11/12/08 11:02 AM : Start Price: $71.54 LLL Score: 2.25 No matter who won the Presidential race L-3 will do well. Goverment cuts large contracts when looking to curb spending not smaller ones. And that is L-3 niche, lots of small contracts Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 0 (LLL) cwheeland (< 20) Submitted: 11/11/08 5:17 PM : Start Price: $72.26 LLL Score: 2.50 L-3 is trading a multile of earnings which is historically low for the sector. The Obama presidency should be good and at worst neutral for the company. Their cash position and earnings growth would be garnering a move up in a more sane market. I am a buyer of this stock and am still on the plus side (though not by much). Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.

In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
