On CAPS, 95% of the 354 members who have rated Rockwood believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just yesterday, one of those Fools, All-Star TMFDeej, brought the bargain opportunity to our community's attention:

This is one of Alex Roeper's ideas from the Value Investing Congress. Lithium, a key battery component, is one of this cheap specialty chemical company's products. It will benefit as manufacturers introduce more hybrid vehicles.

Furthermore, he claims that the stock trades largely based on fluctuations in the Titanium Dioxide market, despite the fact that it only accounts for 15% of Rockwood's business. Rockwood actually plans to spin-off the TiO2. This move will help to lower its debt and cedouple it from the swings in the price of this commodity.

If you want market-topping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite its five-star rating, Rockwood may not be your top choice.
