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.

The unemployed will give up their house and car before they give up their phone. Isn't that a comforting basis for investing?
They have a lot of debt, but they seem to have a very safe stream of cash flow to service it. They pay a very nice dividend that is currently above 7%. For those who dare to ...More

This crappy company laid one of my friends off. He was making 80 grand a year. He was replaced by a guy in India probably making half of that.

Recs 0 (T) patpott (< 20) Submitted: 6/24/09 3:10 PM : Start Price: $24.66 T Score: 0.53 The strong dividend yield should help the stock price hold its head above water in the short term. The dividend appears relatively safe based upon the March 31, 2009 statement of cash flows; however, some major outflows (IRS $650m+ and Pension Obligations) will eventually have to be paid.

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!
