Gilead Sciences, Inc. (GILD)

CAPS Rating:
*****

A biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and commercializes innovative therapeutics in areas of unmet medical need.

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.

Gilead is competing with the big boys and holding it's own. The share price has held up just fine over the otherwise not so pretty market picture of the past couple of months. income and profits look to continue rising. what's not to like?

Lots of insider selling. After they are done, I might pick up a few shares.

Learning options and experimented with a covered call on my 200 shares. Followed Jim Jubak's advice for this pick, and it has performed well. As far as I can tell from the annual report, the pipeline seems to be moving along fine.

I'm not smart enough to read fundamentals and pick winning stocks, instead I look to the collective wisdom of the experts to help me make my picks. www.Stocksteak.com has rated GILD the #8 overall stock this week.
