There's a reason why more than 30,000 investors flock to Omaha each May, and millions more rummage through the Berkshire Hathaway annual reports: Gleaning knowledge from proven investors is one way to find the stocks that will make you rich.

Using Motley Fool CAPS, the Fool's 125,000-plus-member investing community, we can see which stocks are receiving a boost in attention from CAPS All-Star players each week. A sudden increase in bullish interest from top-rated investors could signal that the stock deserves further research.

To me, HUN is the most attractive one since tons of its five star rating just come in recently in the past 2 weeks. The other stocks, the five star ratings have sit there for longer than 1 or 2 month.

Be very careful with the double short ETF's. Recent studies have shown they have very imperfect contra correlation with the underlying stocks. Single shorts have a greater probability. If you use a double short, you need to watch it daily and get out within a week.
