Every day, the sun rises on Wall Street, and a plethora of professional analysts wake to issue new opinions on stocks. Here at the Fool, we use our "This Just In" column to examine some of these picks-- and the track record of the firm behind them -- so individuals can make better investing decisions.

In addition to following professional banks, anyone can use Motley Fool CAPS to monitor the collective opinions of more than 125,000 members, many of whom demonstrate better investing insight than published analysts do.

Enough top-performing CAPS members have turned bullish on Adobe Systems (NASDAQ:ADBE) recently to upgrade it from its long held four-star ranking to a more formidable five stars. A total of 1,575 members have given their opinion on Adobe, with many of them offering analysis and commentary explaining the recent optimism.

Adobe's Flash platform delivers 80% of the Web video worldwide and is spreading to alternative platforms like netbooks, set-top boxes, and smartphones, with the backing of top chip designers such as Sigma Designs (NASDAQ:SIGM), Broadcom, and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC). Adobe expects to have a full Flash version on numerous smartphone operating systems like Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android, Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows Mobile, Nokia's (NYSE:NOK) Symbian, and Palm's (NASDAQ:PALM) WebOS by next year. It has already shipped its Flash Lite player in almost 1 billion smartphones and expects to ship another 1.5 billion in the next two years.

But Adobe's success goes far beyond Flash: There's much more to like with the company's dominant market share in its other software and portable document applications. Shares have taken a hit recently after some analysts gave pessimistic views, anticipating cutbacks in corporate spending, but many CAPS members see a long-term winner that sits on $2 billion in cash, maintains reasonable levels of debt, and commands solid earnings power. And as the stock has dropped, more bulls have come on board.

To see what the very best CAPS members are saying now about Adobe -- as well as other winning stocks they are picking -- head on over to CAPS and have a look. The community research and resources in CAPS are totally free, unlike analyst opinions reserved for paying clients.
