A cheap stock
is the basis for every future returns. Beside cheap fundamentals and pricing
ratios of a company, the expected growth is an additional important item for
investors. After the ongoing turbulences due to the euro debt crises and the
fiscal cliff in America, there should be some bargains in relation to growth
right now.
Here are my favorites:

Some well known large cap stocks have been hit very hard the past couple months. This has created some potential buying opportunities. The stocks below are trading at valuations that appear to be a major buying opportunity for any long-term investor.
ReplyDeleteSome of these stocks fell on earnings disappointments, analyst downgrades, competitive concerns or lowered guidance. Often these are short-term events, so these situations and low prices often provide the best buying opportunities.
While many investors are now climbing over themselves to buy overvalued oil stocks at 20 to 25 times earnings, I am taking profits in the oil sector and investing some of the proceeds in these great American companies at bargain prices.
By comparison, these names are trading at 7 to 12 times earnings and are likely to hold up well in the next period of market turmoil.

ReplyDeleteI think I'll check out these suggestions; it's about time I diversify my portfolio once again.
