On CAPS, 95.5% of the 422 members who have rated j2 Global believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include jhuffard and All-Star mrindependent, who is ranked in the top 2% of our community.

Early this year, jhuffard noted that j2 Global "offers products that are both useful and cost effective for small businesses of all kinds, which will be the growth engine of our economy coming out of the current recession/depression." Our CAPS member concludes: "I think that their opportunity is large and their profitability is already proven."

In a pitch from last week, mrindependent sends a bullish message of his own:

This stock is both cheap and timely. ... Current [price-to-earnings] is 13 vs 5 yr average [price-to-earnings] of 20. This stock pick seems to be timely because it is a high quality tech stock that managed to grow slightly in 2009 -- which is no small feat. Quality is regaining favor. … The company has shown its quality by growing revenues from $100 million in 2004 to $240 million in 2008 while posting an average [ROE] of 26 percent. Not surprisingly, the company has compiled an awesome cash pile.
