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 120,000-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
Whole Foods Market, Inc. (Nasdaq: WFMI )	$12.80	Grocery Stores	3628 of 4070
Logitech International SA (USA) (Nasdaq: LOGI )	$15.61	Computer Peripherals	604 of 621
ENGlobal Corp (Nasdaq: ENG )	$5.07	Technical Services	312 of 321
