CAPS is a revolutionary new service that operates from a simple premise: that by working together, participants can improve their investing performance. Players who sign up for the service simply rate their favorite stocks. Those that prove themselves to be successful stock pickers become more valued to the community, and their opinions are weighted more heavily. Players and stocks receive ratings, and all of the data is compiled and the scores are kept by Motley Fool. The whole product is free and is available at www.caps.fool.com. Where it really gets interesting is that the cumulative opinions and ratings actually represent a broad representation of thousands upon thousands of individuals who are rated by the effectiveness of their stock picking. It is the “wisdom of the crowds” meets stock picking.
