The Foolish bottom lineAs you can see, each of these companies has meaningful work to do in order to win over investor hearts and minds. The shorts aren't always correct, and looking at the stocks they love to hate can be a great starting point for investors to do their own research. After all, there's nothing better than sticking it to the bears with a contrarian pick that works in your favor.
Speaking of bears, the negative sentiment surrounding Facebook is palpable, and at this point I'm not convinced it's overdone. Facebook has a lot to prove as a public company, but if you're looking for an online leader that's already proving itself, this company is a fraction of Facebook's size but boasts some revenue weapons the social-networking juggernaut probably wishes it had.
