Just last month, one of those Fools, jameskm03, highlighted Zipcar as a potent growth opportunity:

In some ways Zipcar is really not all that different than what Netflix or Amazon did/is doing. A decade ago most people weren't all that confident about shopping online or streaming rented movies through their TV either. It's true that Zipcar has to make money to survive, but they really aren't that far away from it today. ... Zipcar is part of the solution to reducing populated roads, pollution and financial debt.

If you want to retire rich, 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 four-star rating, Zipcar may not be your top choice.
