The Motley Fool Take

If you're looking for a few promising stocks to investigate, you'll find (as always), a treasure trove of ideas right here in Fooldom. For starters, here's a list of 15 companies worth watching and 18 mutual funds with solid track records.

On our discussion boards (free trial available), you'll find thousands of folks talking stocks. Here's a smattering of snippets:

-- On the l'union fait la force board, Fool Community member Douglas403 opined that McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) is on sale, saying: "McDonalds is now selling at its lowest price in seven years and its lowest sales/earnings multiple in 11 years. The company has bought back 200 million shares in the last 10 years, and has increased dividends every year!"

-- On the Foolish Collective board, you'll find a detailed analysis of MGIC Investment Corp. (NYSE: MTG). There, admiraltroll notes, "I expect to be able to show that, even with an earnings growth reduction, the intrinsic value of the company is considerably higher than today's stock price (Wow, a bias before I start!)."

-- On the Martian Chronicles board, jkm929 launched a discussion about youth-oriented retailers by mentioning an article that suggested "teenage girls no longer want to look like Britney Spears; now they want to look like Avril Lavigne. As a consequence they've switched from shopping at Bebe (Nasdaq: BEBE), Wet Seal (Nasdaq: WTSL.A), and Charlotte Russe (Nasdaq: CHIC) to shopping at Urban Outfitters (Nasdaq: URBN), Hot Topic (Nasdaq: HOTT), Pacific Sunwear (Nasdaq: PSUN), and thrift stores."

-- On the Drip Investing -- Companies board, you'll find discussions on direct investing plans for General Electric (NYSE: GE) stock, 3M (NYSE: MMM) stock, Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) stock, and more.

-- On the Peter Lynch Investing board, folks discuss the merits of Nextel (Nasdaq: NXTL) and Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV).

-- On the Rambus (Nasdaq: RMBS) board, sanlaw1 shared promising developments from Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) taken from an article titled "Five Chips That Will Change Your Life."
