CAPS rating...anyone look at it?

Hi there,

Just wondered if anyone pays attention to a stock's CAPS rating? I like the idea of it and the way the good investor's carry a greater weighting and vice versa. Of course it pays to do your own research, but just curious what people's views of it are.

Cheers.

If you are referring to Motley Fool CAPS, then I think it shows considerable promise. I've integrated the CAPS rating into my own screener software and combined with some of my own screening techniques it certainly is "interesting". Early days yet, but definitely worth a good look by any swing or longer period stock trader or investor.
