No one has perfect foresight, but let's be honest: The
market is full of people who, as Oscar Wilde would say, know
"the price of everything and the value of nothing." Far too
often -- over the past year especially -- investors have been
pitched sensational stock recommendations only to be left
high and dry as shares crumble.
To hunt down top-recommended stocks that have been
rewarding investors accordingly, I summoned ourÂ
Motley Fool CAPSÂ community to point out a few
four- or five-star stocks that have been shootin' for the
moon in recent months. Some are still bargains, others are
getting ahead of themselves.
While not formal buy recommendations, these
three-month bloomers caught my attention:
