When a stock hits a fresh low, it can either signal a dirt cheap dream stock or a dreadful stock to avoid. Separating the wheat from the chaff is difficult, but finding well-run companies at bargain-basement prices is a great way to accumulate a fortune over the long run.

With that in mind, we'll use the aggregate intelligence of the 115,000-plus investors participating in Motley Fool CAPS to see what the community is saying about stocks hitting 52-week lows today. The community's approval (signified by four- and five-star ratings) could indicate that further research is in order.

Here are three such stocks:

Company	Today's Intraday Price	Industry	Fools Saying Outperform
Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. (USA) (AMEX: NAK)	$4.23	Gold	398 of 421
Brasil Telecom Part. S.A. (ADR) (NYSE: BRP)	$51.38	Telecom Services - Foreign	327 of 335
Apex Silver Mines Limited (AMEX: SIL)	$1.99	Silver	325 of 353
