    I was sent an article from "The Motley Fool" titled "The ONE shock proof investment that just goes up." And "Just look at these gains last year from water technology companies..." The stocks and there last year gains that were listed in this article were as follows:

    CCC -- stock up 283%

    HDRX -- stock up 325%

    PNR -- stock up 528%

    WWAT -- stock up 630%

    I personally went back and check out these stocks via Bloomberg.com and none of them were even close to showing these gains, in fact HDRX closed the year as a loss.

    So what gives with these gentlemen and there newsletter? Would anyone from "The Motley Fool" please explain this to me?

    Thank you!
