A lot can happen in a week. For any measurable unit of time -- days, weeks, months, or whatever -- there are winners and losers in the market. A big movement in a stock price can indicate that something has materially changed within a company to radically alter its desirability as an investment. by Rich Smith - September 4, 2008 - 0 comments
At The Motley Fool, we poke plenty of fun at Wall Street analysts and their endless cycle of upgrades, downgrades, and "initiating coverage at neutral." So you might think we'd be the last people to give virtual ink to such "news." And we would be -- if that were all we were doing.

Even on the market's worst days, buyout news and other short-term forces can send individual stocks up by 10%, 25%, even 50%. For example, despite its reliance on debt quality, shares of Ambac Financial (NYSE: ABK) gained nearly 42% in a single day last week, on news that bond insurer MBIA would reinsure more than $180 million in municipal bonds. But beyond less-predictable events like that one are stocks with fundamentally compelling reasons for recent momentum. The trick is to find those stocks. That's where Motley Fool CAPS comes in. by Alex Dumortier - September 4, 2008 - 0 comments
