5 Stocks Approaching Greatness
By Rich Duprey
November 11, 2008 Comment (1) 2
Recommendations

Some companies are obviously great investments -- in hindsight. Yet for every stock out there screaming "buy me," others simply give us a nudge and a nod. How can we tell tomorrow's obviously great investments from the thousands of pretenders?

The stars' walk of fame
The data shows that stocks achieving five-star ratings on Motley Fool CAPS have outperformed the market by 12 percentage points, and newly minted five-star stocks represent your best opportunity to capture those returns. So, let's sift through the proprietary ratings system and find those stocks heading toward superstardom. Here are a handful of four-star companies approaching greatness:

Agnico-Eagle Mines (NYSE: AEM)
Barclays (NYSE: BCS)
JA Solar (Nasdaq: JASO)
LDK Solar (NYSE: LDK)
SUPERVALU (NYSE: SVU)

In the supermarket of ideas, being a low-cost producer can certainly be a profitable endeavor when the economy tanks. When your products or services are as essential as supermarket chain SUPERVALU's are -- after all, who doesn't need to eat? -- you ought to be in the express lane to growth. Yet, the value offered hasn't been as apparent as it's been at competitor Kroger (NYSE: KR), which is seen as an everyday low-price chain rather than one that's responding to the current crisis.

CAPS member 1hobbesjr thinks that the situation will change shortly, however. With stores being remodeled and private label products forming a bigger component of sales, SUPERVALU's value will become apparent.

price, low p/e, maintaining profits despite fuel costs and despite higher number of stores being remodeled. Remodeled stores being completed quicker with sales increases afterwards. Good quality private label goods with consumers purchasing more of those in tough times. Pretty impressive considering recent aquisition of albertsons and the economic conditions. Also, have been upgrading warehouses for higher production effeciency. Proving to be a huge benefit and savings. UP UP & AWAY!

I posted it for you of course. Told you a few week backs, on the right track. Don't pay any attention to the all-time low set yesterday or this AM.

Thanks Ken.  :D  The current low just means I get to buy more and make more when it rises. :good

It's gonna turn. Watch for even a rumor of a merge or takeover and it will jump to $60+ overnite. One of these days, a loaf of bread will be worth more than a bar of gold.

Love to hear them rambleing for 15-20 minutes, with all that sciientific B.S. analysis. Must be non-PC just to say the economy sucks and is getting worse by the minute.
