7 Stocks on a Roll

Finding the next big stock is both satisfying and profitable. One way to do that is to uncover businesses with improving sentiment among investors.

With that in mind, we used our Motley Fool CAPS screening tool to find stocks on a roll -- those with growing bullish sentiment in the CAPS community. Specifically, we looked for stocks whose CAPS ratings have risen in the last two months to five stars (out of five).

They also have:

  • Market caps greater than $100 million.
  • At least 200 active CAPS picks.

Here are seven for your viewing pleasure:

If any of these interest you, you should research them further -- perhaps even discuss them with the very investors who are bullish on them.

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?
