Over on CAPS, 146 of the 150 All-Star members who have rated Logitech -- or 97% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include chk999 and dibble905, both of whom are ranked in the top 20% of our community.

In late October, chk999 used some Foolish logic on Logitech: "Looking at the fundamentals, they have no debt. They have some cash. They have good margins and good ROE and ROA. They will weather this downturn and still be a great company."

In a pitch from four days ago, dibble905 agrees, tapping Logitech as a best-of-breed bargain opportunity:

Although the sector is saturated, Logitech maintains enough investment to redefine the standard keyboard and mouse and entice us of their new products ability to make us more efficient or otherwise better at whatever we do -- leisure or work related. ...

The one caveat to all of this is, technology is a growing field where one year is an eternity. One new hot product from a competitor can easily unseat Logitech from its humble throne. As of right now, however, with decreasing capital expenditures and no real competition in sight, Logitech is at least a value buy for the short to medium term of 2-4 years.
