The Company is engaged in developing and employing innovative technology to produce synthetic liquid hydrocarbons that are free of contaminants normally found in conventional products made from crude oil.

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.

Syntroleum is a very interesting. Unlike bio-diesel, synthetic diesel is an Ultra Clean fuel that has lower sulfur levels than traditional bio-diesel and/or crude oil. It also performs better in colder temperatures and has faster ignition from initial injection to combustion.

Syntroleum's near-term revenues are not enough to cover operating costs, requiring the firm to find new revenue and funding sources. A weakened credit market could hamper the company's ability to raise funds and delay projects.

Recs 0 (SYNM) whichstock (< 20) Submitted: 12/11/09 9:40 PM : Start Price: $2.17 SYNM Score: 2.31 Here is what stockgod said about SYNM on his blog after his thorough research: '•Syntroleum does not require cash currently to complete their current plant. •Syntroleum will have their plant online sometime in January, and they'll be running full production of 75 million gallons of high grade biodiesel every year. •Syntroleum will be miles ahead of their competition, by at least 1 year. That's being generous. •Syntroleum's input costs are a fraction of their competition. Thus their fats cost less. •The government just extended their bill on the bio-diesel tax credit of $1 per gallon, they go through this almost every year, and they always extend it by about a year. •Even if the government decides to cancel the tax credit Syntroleum is the only company of their competitors that could possibly survive due to the speculation that their feed stock costs will go down. Bottom line, Syntroleum is in a powerful position being that Dynamic Fuels is 50% owned by Tyson. •Rentek $rtk is known for pumping their stock. They will put out news whenever they can, at least for now. They need to build their stock price to raise money. They have no plant, they haven't broken ground, they don't have enough cash to even start a project. No plans, no drawings, nothing. •Rentek recently put out a couple of press releases on potential partnerships, deals, etc. None of these have numbers, positions, strategies, etc. They are just press releases. You must take the time to read them. •Rentek is at least 2 years behind, at least. •The only chance Rentek has to catch up is if by some miracle another company with biodiesel plant decides to license something from them? Being that I studied their IP I'm not exactly sure what they can offer. •Now compare the market caps of Rentek to Syntroleum and the story gets more interesting. •Dynamic Fuels will be producing 75 million gallons of diesel a year starting in 2010. So maybe next year they do half that. Do the math. Syntroleum gets half. •Syntroleum will require more money down the road to create another plant --- knowing the CEO they will not do a raise at a low level. They can sustain part of it with the revenues they'll be producing from their Louisiana plant. After that they may need to raise money, and by then the institutions will be all over this thing. •Syntroleum is my favorite American small cap company.
