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
K-Tron International, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTII)	$58.30	Machinery	385 of 396

Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE: C)	$7.16	Diversified Financial Services	5275 of 6766

The Motley Fool has been leading their followers to financial demise as of late. The MDP their star portfolio is down a whopping 50+% with some positions down 85% + - A shell shock for those who paid $999 for the premium service. The Fool has been touting the Buffet way for years to gain investor confidence in subscribing to their service. The MF's lack of defensive strategy has killed MDP's performance and has tarnished the Buffet name so often used by the Fool to lure their subscribers. Would Mr. Buffet be a buyer of the MDP picks? That is the million dollar question, if so, at what price? Certainly not at the price touted by the Motley Fool to its MDP subscribers. Once more, how much of the Fools marketing is pure hype? It certainly has the makings of an irresponsible service to novice investors who are puting their confidence and hard earned money with MDP / MF hoping for a safer way to play the markets. Beware! Its not as rosy as it is made out to be. For many Foolish investors the $999 subscription is followed by sharp pain, one that has no instant relief.
