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.

Disney has shown excellent progression since the 1920’s putting it as a great buy at anytime. With Mickey Mouse being one of the largest children idols in the world there’s no way Disney could go wrong.

economy taking a downturn, and more and more and more consumers creating their own content to compete with Big Media. There is too much bureacracy in these companies to respond to this threat quickly. If Rupert can steal MySpace for 500 mil - maybe he can do it, but I think these guys lose out in ...More

Take your profits and run. Hannah Montana is not singer, but a product people. Just because she has an album does not mean she can sing. If that's the case, William Hung from American Idol can sing too. Oh yeah, she bangs, she bangs,....she sucks, she sucks...

I only have to ask who is going to compete with disney and grab a larger market share? And then you also have to remember pixar, once they start to actually take away from disney, well disney just buys em. lol = thumbs up from this fool for the long run on Mickey and all his gang.

One of the biggest brand names in the world ... other companies would kill to have their brand this well-known and respected. Trading near bottom PE in years. Toy Story 3 and Cars 2 coming out soon.

Citigroup gives it a red thumb, which is the only reason I need to give it a green thumb.

In addition to Mickey and all the legends we know, they continue to create popular names: Hannah Montana, High School Musical, etc. They have done a great job with their cable enterprises and the parks are being run well and kept clean. Pixar will continue to add to the content...and 'content is King' in getting people into amusement parks, advertisers to sell on cable, or people to watch movies. This is a good price for a solid, well-running company.
