Just last week, one of those Fools, All-Star zzlangerhans, succinctly summed up the bull case for our community:

I like to green thumb Cubist on pullbacks, since their consistently strong Cubicin revenues provide substantial downside protection. The company also has a strong internal pipeline which has the potential to generate substantial positive catalysts in the near future. I wasn't impressed with the Adolor acquisition, but under new management Entereg is actually showing some signs of life.

If you want market-thumping 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 a strong four-star rating, Cubist may not be your top choice.
