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 145,000-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 11/9 to 12/9	CAPS Research
Ebix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EBIX)	Software	82%	EBIX

How can Ebix has an increase in bullish intrest and attracting Top Investors when this stock has done nothing but go down in the last month when the market has gone up EXAMPLE today [ 12-9-09 ] Dow Jones up 51.08 points Nasdaq up 10.74 Ebix down $2.56 per share and the stock is going to split 3-1 next week maybe major swing to the up side or more slide to the down side we will see. But so far this stock has disappoint me very much. It is hard for me to believe that Ebix is attracting top Investors maybe on the short side.
