On CAPS, 93.6% of the 609 members who have rated Rosetta Stone believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include Foolm2 and All-Star TMFMuse, who is ranked in the top 5% of our community.

Late last month , Foolm2 advised Fools to pounce on Rosetta Stone's sliding stock price: "The recent drop gives us a great buy point for this growing company. The economy will recover and the international sales will grow even more."

Driven by a pair of high-profile management exits and disappointing domestic sales, Rosetta Stone's shares are down 24% over the past two months alone. Of course, with its international sales rising 155% in the last quarter, and a new higher-priced Internet-based product set to launch, Rosetta Stone isn't exactly doomed. While Disney, McGraw-Hill, and Blackboard offer competing products, our community strongly believes that Rosetta Stone has become the standard language learning tool in consumers' minds. Add the fact that those same rivals are much larger and have their tentacles in several other businesses, and it's easy to see why Fools tap Rosetta Stone as the strongest and purest way to play the world's ever-growing need to communicate with each other.

CAPS All-Star TMFMuse explains:

This company plays in a space that makes sense for growth in an ever-globalizing economy, but does not seem to carry any real international risk. The need for foreign languages in business (as well as modern life in general) is increasing, regardless of the ebb and flow of the global economy.

[Rosetta Stone] offers a complete, simple, scalable solution for language-learning. Their entry level packages are reasonably priced, and their back-end products are smart and enticing. ... And while there are competitors, [Rosetta Stone] has decent moat (brand recognition, network effect, switching costs, etc.) -- I don't see anyone more innovative in that space.
