The stock has almost doubled over the last twelve months, making any prudent investor wonder whether there is any upside left or the stock has run its course. To answer more »

  • $6 Billion Hedge Fund Bullish on Hillshire Brands and These Little Guys

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - May 1, 2013 | Tickers: EPL, EXH, HCBK, SLE, SWC

    Because small cap stocks receive less attention from large institutional investors and the financial media, they are more likely to be mis-priced. We can also look at top small cap picks from individual managers to see what they like in this range; investors can then do more research on any interesting names.

  • Newfield Exploration: How Much Can it Get for its International Assets?
