On CAPS, 87%of the 126 members who have rated Atmos believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just yesterday, one of those Fools, mchedester, succinctly summed up the Atmos bull case for our community: "Natural gas should be a big part of the future. This company is my way to play natural gas. They make money in storage when supplies get backed up and they make money with sales when demand picks up."
