Warren Buffett has proven that the key to investing is buy and hold; the problem is, how do you know you’re not holding onto a loser? For many investors, the only information they get besides glancing at an earnings release is the stock price. Separating the good from the bad is difficult, but finding well-run companies at bargain-basement prices is a great way to accumulate a fortune over the long run.

With that in mind, at The Motley Fool we have another easy tool for you to see how your company is doing. You can use the aggregate intelligence of the 135,000-plus investors participating in Motley Fool CAPS to see what the community is thinking about a company today, and how they felt about it last quarter. A change in the community's approval (signified by four- and five-star ratings) or disapproval (one- and two-star ratings) could indicate that further research is in order.

Here is the CAPS community’s aggregate feelings on American Airlines parent AMR (NYSE: AMR ) , and some related companies, from today and last quarter.

Disclosure is important to us here at The Motley Fool. The stocks mentioned in this article received their CAPS ratings from participants in The Motley Fool's CAPS service, and AMR recently released its 10-Q. No individual person selected the stocks in this article, so there is no author to disclose an interest in them. Since this article was automatically generated by identifying the stocks rated by the CAPS community and by buyers in today’s market, it is possible that Motley Fool personnel (and even The Motley Fool itself, through our Million Dollar Portfolio, Motley Fool Pro, and Ready-Made Millionaire services), have positions in these stocks. Our lawyers make us put all this at the bottom of this article. You can learn more about the Motley Fool’s disclosure policy here.
