Just last week, one of those Fools, Windsurfing1, tapped Weight Watchers as a particularly tempting bargain opportunity:
Well established brand at quite some discount. Growing well internationally. Value play, and it has a dividend. Weight Watchers will continue to add value with people becoming more aware of what to eat and how to eat.
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a strong five-star rating, Weight Watchers may not be your top choice.
