Time for another edition of Following The Fool’s “This Week’s 5 Smartest Stock Moves.” The list does not give recommendations, but it reviews highlights from the past week. I thought it would be interesting to see if any of the picks turned out to be good going forward.

Wow! The Fool has followed some smart moves once again. We have six out of six in positive territory for the third week of September. Too bad the list is not making predictions.
This week’s picks are Intuit (INTU), Google (GOOG), Blockbuster (BBI), and Citigroup (C). For the fifth choice, Munarriz gave a nod to Facebook, hinting that an IPO may be coming soon. For the full article, visit thefool.com.
Next Saturday, let’s see if The Fool’s streak will continue.
