This is the first we’ve heard in a couple months from the folks at Xcelerated Profits, the newsletter run by Karim Rahemtulla from the Agora/Oxford/Mt.

This is a little weekend refresher, for folks who might have missed the writeup the first time around.

The oft-noted “Best Stock Ever” from the Motley Fool, which has been teased by them more times I can count, is Marvel, the comic book and movie juggernaut. David Gardner at the Fool did a fabulous job of picking this one up out of the swoon it was in down in the single digits several […]
