I noticed a headline on the CNN.COM website tonight that points to a list of 10 stock to purchase now. I figured I'd give them a quick check using Take Stock. Here are the stocks, in the order presented, and Take Stock's summary. I guess that Fortune isn't picking what we'd call "quality growth companies" at the moment.

The mood indicators are from Take Stock. Essentially they tell you whether investors are paying more (or less) than usual based on the P/E ratio.
For more information, take a look at the Help link in the Take Stock tab.

These stocks are actually from CNN's sister publication, Fortune Magazine. As far as growth portrayals, most of these are turnarounds or recovery stocks.
The exception in the text was DO. DO has expanding price contracts for their rigs. In addition, there is a current shortage of rigs with increasing ocean drilling. This was, of course, the text in the article.
