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
LSB Industries, Inc. (AMEX: LXU )	$7.23	General Building Materials	543 of 560
AU Optronics Corp. (ADR) (NYSE: AUO )	$6.36	Computer Peripherals	487 of 507
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE )	$6.69	Oil & Gas Pipelines	694 of 720
