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.

A downside to the ecomony that is mild and a minor reversal of the market is all that is happening here if this continues I would short but watch out for a power spike in price prepare to cover quickly if you do.

I love the intense m&a actions between this company and Pepsi. I sware, if you have followed the story from beginning to end, you would have enough knowledge to be a banker.

Pepsi is a cheap "luxury" good that the recession shouldn't hit too hard. New massive advertising campaign has given Pepsi FAR more exposure than any other soft drink.

**As taken from SMART MONEY**

6 Stocks That Passed Our Toughest Value Test

The broad stock market has been in decline for about a year. Steel shares didn't turn sour until summer, when commodity prices began to tumble. A ton of hot-rolled sheet steel now fetches half its July price. Since mid-June, Nucor (NUE: 33.56, +1.77, +5.56%) and Steel Dynamics (STLD: 8.75, -0.24, -2.66%) have lost two-thirds and three-quarters of their stock value, respectively.

Managers for each company have decried their stock price as nonsensical of late. Relative to the broad market's decline, they have little to complain about. Five-year holders of big steel stocks have still about doubled their money. Those in S&P 500 index funds are down. On valuation, though, the bosses have a point. Steel Dynamics shares go for a mere three times the company's past four quarters' worth of earnings. That's less than a quarter of the broad market's price.

Of course, the miniscule price/earnings ratio suggests investors expect earnings to plunge. They surely will. Early Thursday, Charlotte-based Nucor reported a 93% jump in third-quarter earnings per share, beating analysts' expectations, but also called financial projections for its fourth quarter "impractical," citing a "world-wide financial crisis that is unique in both size and scope in our lifetime." Late Wednesday, Steel Dynamics reported a 92% rise in third-quarter earnings per share, falling short of expectations. It withdrew full-year guidance but took a shot on the fourth quarter: "about half" of third-quarter earnings.

A halving of earnings is never welcome news. But a halving of earnings that recently nearly doubled would prove less of a disaster than the current stock price suggests. Suppose earnings indeed fall from 98 cents to 49 between the third and fourth quarters. A year's worth of the new, lower earnings pace puts shares at just over four times earnings. Clearly, investors are bracing for worse. Perhaps they expect a world-wide slowdown in construction to leave steelmakers with a glut of inventory. Steel companies, though, have reduced production to try to prevent just such an outcome. And while lower steel prices won't help the top line, lower prices for raw materials used to make steel, like ferrous scrap, might help keep margins healthy.

Thursday afternoon, while the broad market was trading 2% higher, shares of Steel Dynamics were up more than 15%. Investors might be re-thinking the valuations. They might also be drawn in by Steel Dynamics' 4.5% dividend yield. The stock turned up recently on a search for companies that seem cheap relative to sales, profits and free cash flow, and that pay ample dividends.
