CAPS Rating:
*****

A diversified home energy distributor and services provider, specializing in heating oil and propane.

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.

Small cap with ROI, ROE, and ROA, all looking great, trading at a PE 2.45? This should be an easy winner even in the short term.

Look for the long in the making rise from the ashes of this company like the proverbial Phoenix as this is the tale of an operation built from the ground up and run as the standard of excellence by it's founder who then sold his Company for big bucks and retired not realizing that he had sold to a group of rotters, who ran the partnership like rum pot's and finally right off a cliff as stewbums for managers tend to do with good businesses. After selling high his ownership in this Partnership he found himself in a position to buy it back at all time lows which he did. He has since set about returning the Partnership to it's former glory and is clearly well on the way to having completed the successful turn around and operational excellance driven focus that will make this one of the better investments you could make at the current prices which won't be around much longer and are unlikely to be seen again anytime soon. The fundamentals are all there and the Cinderella story that you get free with the package makes most people to poor not to be able to afford to pass up a cash generating ATM machine investment like this one is.

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!
