There's a reason why more than 30,000 investors flock to Omaha each May, and millions more rummage through the Berkshire Hathaway annual reports: Gleaning knowledge from proven investors is one way to find the stocks that will make you rich.

Using Motley Fool CAPS, the Fool's 110,000-member-strong investing community, we can see which stocks are receiving a boost in attention from CAPS All-Star players each week. A sudden increase in bullish interest from top-rated investors could be a sign that the stock deserves further research. In fact, biotech concern Sequenom (Nasdaq: SQNM  ) was highlighted in this list in early June, and has since risen 68%.
