1. @TheMotleyFool: Misconception: We owe most of our debt to #China. Here are the real facts behind 3 common misconceptions. http://mot.ly/sr7mVS

How many of us thought that we owed most of our debt to China or that we get most of our oil from the Middle East? These are very much false. Fool Morgan Housel dispels these common misconceptions with a dose of fact.

2. @TheMotleyFool: Stocks trading near their 52-week lows that could be worth buying? I'll take 3 of them: http://mot.ly/rX5sK7 #cheapstocks

When a stock heads toward its 52-week low, there's oftentimes a good reason. But sometimes the market overreacts, creating a potential opportunity. Fool Sean Williams looks at three stocks near their 52-week lows -- Toyota Motor (NYSE: TM  ) , Jaguar Mining (NYSE: JAG  ) , and Nam Tai Electronics (NYSE: NTE  ) -- and digs into the details.

See why these three companies are worth following.

3. @TheMotleyFool: You know how we sometimes recommend great companies worth buying? These 3 aren't among them. Steer clear: http://mot.ly/vip4ow

Global demand for solar products has been dropping, and then First Solar (Nasdaq: FSLR  ) lost its CEO, Rob Gillette. And after missing its analyst earnings projections last quarter by 24%, you might want to stay away from First Solar stock plus two other companies raising red flags.

Learn which names round out the list of companies to avoid this earnings season.

4. @TheMotleyFool: This company could help Apple's ($AAPL) iPhone growth hit the stratosphere. Dial M for massive moola: http://mot.ly/skQzlJ $CHL

Think Apple's growth story is in the United States? Think again! China Mobile (NYSE: CHL  ) helped Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL  ) catapult to 10 million iPhone users on China Mobile's network. However, it's interesting to note that China Unicom (NYSE: CHU  ) is the only officially sanctioned iPhone carrier in the country.

Read more about Apple's phenomenal growth story in China, despite having only six retail stores.

5. @TheMotleyFool: 6 stocks across 6 investing styles to help you build a diversified portfolio. http://mot.ly/t8PE2b

One strategy to build a well-diversified portfolio is to combine investing styles. In this article, we explore six investing styles and a stock pick to represent each. For example, Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO  ) would add an income component to a portfolio because of its sustainable dividend with an above-average dividend yield.

Check out the other five stock picks and see how they form the base of a diversified portfolio.
