On CAPS, 89% of the 398 members who have rated Fossil believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include heckler24 and All-Star eagles22, who is ranked in the top 10% of our community.

Earlier this month , heckler24 noted that Fossil "has excellent insider ownership and has a fantastic strategy for growth that is only now coming to fruition."

No kidding. Earlier this month, Fossil said its second-quarter income grew a whopping 230% and issued guidance that also topped estimates. Despite continued worries over consumer spending, "affordable luxury" brands like Fossil, as well as rivals Coach and Guess, have posted surprisingly impressive growth of late. And while that strong demand has already set Fossil's shares en fuego, CAPS All-Stars like eagles22 think they still have plenty of room to run:

[Fossil] is starting to look like a traditional [Motley Fool Hidden Gems] stock -- think [Buffalo Wild Wings] or [Middleby] 5 years ago.

What I mean is that it's firing on all cylinders, and the future looks super-rosy. The stock is expensive now, but I think this is one that will continue to deliver. Opening a small position here would be fine, and any stumbles in the future will be short-lived and present buying opportunities.

What do you think about Fossil, or any other stock for that matter? If you want to retire rich, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future, and on Motley Fool CAPS, thousands of investors are working every day to find them. CAPS is 100% free, so get started!
