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 135,000-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.

Here are four stocks receiving more support from CAPS All-Stars over the past month:

Company	Industry	% Change in All-Star Bulls From 7/20 to 8/19	CAPS Research

Curious that the general rule of thumb is to stay away from stocks trading below $5, yet the article suggests that we buy 2 of the stocks which are barely over $5, one is below $5, and only one is above $9 (all figures as of US market close on Sept 25, 2009).
