5-Star Stocks on the Upswing
Sat, 11/07/2009 - 14:48 by Motley Fool
Sadly, there's no such thing as an ultimate buy signalwhen it comes to investing in stocks. Identifying companies with the wind at their back takes time, patience, and a good dose of due diligence.
There is, however, an easy way to increase your odds of finding the stocks that will beat the market. At Motley Fool CAPS, the Fool's investing community of more than 140,000 members, we've found that our "five-star portfolio" is up 15.31% between January 2007 and April 2009, compared to a loss of 40.6% for the S&P 500.
In order to fully capture the upside potential of those five-star stocks, it makes sense to identify them just as soon as they achieve five-star status. Fortunately, our CAPS screener now makes it possible to do this. Below, for example, is a list of companies that have been upgraded to five-star status from four stars just yesterday. These stock ideas are only a starting point, of course. Be sure to join us on CAPS to dig in even further.
