"Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria. The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy, and the time of maximum optimism is the best time to sell." -- Sir John Templeton

Just as it makes sense to research the stocks attracting top investors, it's equally important to figure out why smart money is leaving other investments. Using Motley Fool CAPS, the Fool's 125,000-member-strong investing community, we can see which stocks are losing support from CAPS All-Star players.

A sudden decrease in interest from top-rated investors could signal that the stock is losing steam, which might make it an awful stock to avoid for now. At the very least, such drops should signal that further research is in order.

Here are five stocks receiving less support from CAPS All-Stars over the past month:

Company	Industry	% Change in All-Star Bulls From 12/22 to 1/21	CAPS Research
Satyam Computer (ADR) (NYSE: SAY )	IT Services	(31%)	SAY
Umpqua Holdings Corp (Nasdaq: UMPQ )	Commercial Banks	(26%)	UMPQ
thinkorswim Group Inc. (Nasdaq: SWIM )	Internet Software and Services	(23%)	SWIM
Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacific S.A.B (ADR) (NYSE: PAC )	Transportation Infrastructure	(22%)	PAC
Ingram Micro, Inc. (NYSE: IM )	Electronic Equipment, Instruments and Components	(17%)	IM

The Steve Jobs Betrayal
You may already know that in the final year of his life, Jobs revealed a stunning betrayal — and told his biographer, "I will spend my last dying breath... and every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong." What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?
