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.

With the absolutely insane rally in things related to housing over the past few days, I wanted to find the one stock that has gone up way, way too fast. MHK fits that bill, it is WAY overbought, it's fundamentals are terrible, and while it is a good company within it's industry, it's main customers (homebuilder companies) are buying less and less of it's products. They offered guidance that is way out of line with reality, they lost money last quarter, and even if they reduce their expenses, will it be fast enough to turn a profit over the next 2 quarters? Questionable. And with a 200:1 debt:cash ratio, that isn't looking good either. Granted, they do have generally high revenues, so the potential for profitability is there, but clearly the stock is well overvalued and has run up too far, too fast.

One final piece of data for you to ponder:
EPS (ttm):   -21.32

Does that look like a company you want to own?

While the Mohawk brand is one of the most respected brands in the industry and well known for it's supplier confidence the housing/commercial market continues to get hammered and I see no relief till mid to late 2010. Several divisions such as the Dal Tile brand which is number 1 or 2 in the commercial market appear to be heading south rather quickly in 2009 with currently no end in sight. I am farily familiar with the Dal Tile brand(s) and believe the Dal Tile and related branding have done a absolutely horrible job in the market place. Dal Tile being a manufacturer continues to be a competitor rather than a supplier to the industry. The American Olean brand by Dal Tile has fallen off the face of the earth in California and much of the west as their corporate decisions over the last year has disseminated or alienated the majority of American Olean independent distributors. . Dal Tile still struggles in bringing their products to market place as it appears they would rather be a competitor rather then a supplier to the industry. They have designed their own store structure so even their own outlets compete with each other resulting in lower margins in areas with high store concentrations. With only about 220 stores nation wide you would think reworking the distribution network would be a high priority as I would rather see 2000-3000 independent distributors working through distribution centers rather the only around 220 stores to distribute though out the whole United States. If this division ever does figure out an intelligent distribution plan I believe they would blow by the other Mohawk divisions, but from what I see of the mediocre management that wont be happening anytime soon.

not many people are going to have the money to redo their living room, bathroom or laundry room. That means this thing is going to sink.

commercial real estate end market will remain weak. Oil, a major input, will return to higher levels.
