On CAPS, 96% of the 603 members who have rated Interactive Brokers believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just yesterday, one of those bulls, johnstrobel, tapped the stock as a solid bargain opportunity:

Confidence in the stock market is relatively low and [Interactive Brokers] is suffering from lower trading volumes. In fact, trading volumes are at a 5 year low. Despite this, [Interactive Brokers] has a strong balance sheet and is a good value buy. ... I think as investor confidence returns when we emerge from this long recession, this stock will rise. It may require some patience, but at today's price, may be well worth it.

If you want market-topping returns, 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 five-star rating, Interactive Brokers may not be your top choice.
