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 players 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.

Niche market of law enforcement with a lot of barriers to entry. Imagine the ability to save lives without endangering the security personnel involved either.

Company is in a steady growth phase and has not started expansion internationally. That calls for unlimited potential.

Their overall market is small and non-growing (Police departments are not going to grow 20% per year), their earnings yield is low (assuming P/E is acurate), and cash flow is lousy and inconsistent. Better to put the money elsewhere, NFLX, etc.

I have tried to call bottom on this stock for years, and now I Finlay think Ive done it. Just had a massive order for its new and improved defense technology, if they can keep up these orders, then I can Finlay see good things happening to TASR.

Controversy always surrounds this company. However, the product is effective and in demand.

As much as I think management has taken more than its fair share of Taser's valuation, they are the only player in the less than lethal technology. The barriers to entry are high in this arena and Taser appears to be the only legitimate company going after this market. Taser will outperfrom the market from this setback, next year, the next, or next. Hey, I am a Cleveland sports fan - there is always next year.

The stock could go up, even double or triple again. However this stock is far to unstable to be taken seriously. Its performance hardly reflects anything to do with any real indicator. Essentially in proportion to how radically it has been traded. For potential gain in the short term, I think the risk is far to great to justify buying at a potential low. A lot of people may be holding it now ready to sell at anything under 7.

There has yet to be a recession in crime. Law enforcement love the Taser. There are plenty of situations where lethal force is overkill, and Taser is the only realistic option for police departments. Anyone who has been Tasered will opt for self-restraint rather than being zapped again. The legal system will eventually realize that it's pointless to bring action against the company, much like with handgun manufacturers. I'm all for it, and now is the time to buy.
