Regardless of their motivation, we can better understand market sentiment by seeing who's watching what. With the Fool's free My Watchlist service, we have tens of thousands of people telling us the businesses that have, for whatever reason, piqued their interest.

Looking at the aggregate data, we see that Dolby (NYSE: DLB  ) is above the rest in terms of watch interest, the percentage of people keeping an eye on electronics stocks in general who are specifically watching each company. And for good reason. As CAPS All-Star haoluoluo wrote last week:

Dominant industry position;
Favorable trends of digital content replacing analog and adoption of HD and 3-D content
Strong cash flow; extremely high margin;
Clean balance sheet with 1B cash/investments with no debt;
Valuation at the low end of historical range and at 52 week low.
