"Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism,
mature on optimism, and die on euphoria. The time of maximum
pessimism is the best time to buy, and the time of maximum
optimism is the best time to sell."-- Sir John
Templeton
Just as it makes sense to research the stocks attracting
top investors, it's equally important to figure out why smart
money is leaving other investments. Using
Motley Fool CAPS, the Fool's 140,000-member-strong
investing community, we can see which stocks are losing
support from CAPS All-Star players.
A sudden decrease in interest from top-rated investors
could signal that the stock is losing steam, which might make
