I'm thinking they're looking to talk it down so they can get in cheaper, lol. here's what they have to say...
Checking out the morgue
This investing platform rates stocks and investors and assigns a rating to each: Stocks get one to five stars (five is best), and players get numerical scores up to 100. With a year's worth of data to test, the morticians digging through the information have found that stocks with the highest ratings did best, while those with the lowest fared worst. Yes, I know -- "Duh!" But we can begin to use this data to our advantage.
Below are a handful of stocks that are on the way down. They have recently dropped from a two-star rating to the one-star bottom. Are they suffering from a bad case of the flu, or is it the death rattle we hear?
Stock
1-Year Return
Recent Stock Price
Bookham (Nasdaq: BKHM)

$2.29
M.D.C. Holdings (NYSE: MDC)
(39.4%)
$32.15
Interpublic Group (NYSE: IPG)

$7.54
Genesco (NYSE: GCO)
(14.8%)
$31.72
China Technology Development (Nasdaq: CTDC)
(1.5%)
$7.73
Looking at the names on the list, you might be tempted to think some need the ICU unit rather than a cemetery plot. Genesco, for example, depsite having serious operational problems, may soon be relieved of them as Finish Line has been ordered to finish the acquisition it started but tried to bail out on. However, stocks that CAPS investors have marked down to one star are possibly destined to seriously underperform the market in the future.
