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.

Honestly, this is a blind pick. I watched ElCapitan's 27-second video pitch, then viewed the chart and ... well, I like it at today's price.

Historically, it has good support at about $21. Let's see what happens, eh?

Directors resigning, including one who was on the audit committee.


Debt/Equity of 0.9


Negative profit margin.


Forward PE 55.


I don't see how the cut that the event middleman gets will be increasing enough to make this one worthwhile.

I'll jump in after the recent 25% haircut. Artists and fans have been fighting the behemoths of Ticketmaster and Clear Channel and I think this stock has what it take to prosper (provided it survives in the next 12-18 months). People want more control, hence music downloads, the power of iTunes and artists taking back control of their art. Summer concerts will not go away...I'm hoping for a big boost by then.

Strong secular play in live music and artist management. This business is recession proof!

With downloads hurting albums sales the music industry needs a new direction and livenation is the right path.





But what do I know I have player rating of 22 and a negative score.
