Value stock bargains!!!

2008-06-02T18:07:00.000-05:00

The title to this article is a snowclone. And while many of you don't know (yet) what a snowclone is, I believe the entertainment value of knowing a little about them almost matches the value of knowing which group of stocks has historically smashed the market's averages. Before I wander off on my tangent, you want to know about the new strong buys.

What's old is new again, because here in mid-2008, the new strong buys are the ones that have also historically bested the broader market by about 5% per year. That's always a good start, but today there's an added bonus -- these "strong buys" are coming off consecutive years of significant underperformance. Small-cap value stocks are priced better today than they have been for years.

I love the smell of small-cap value in the morning (it's the smell of victory)
According to Wikipedia, "A snowclone is a type of cliche and phrasal template originally defined as 'a multi-use, customizable, instantly recognizable, time-worn, quoted or misquoted phrase or sentence that can be used in an entirely open array of different jokey variants by lazy journalists and writers.'"

(Did somebody just call my name?)

The term "snowclones" originates from one of the lesser-known time-worn cliched templates, "If the Eskimos have N words for snow, the X surely have M words for Y." For instance: "If the Eskimos have 300 words for snow, Wall Street financiers must have 600 words for subprime mortgage derivatives."

It turns out that the Eskimos don't have a particularly large number of words for snow. (Wall Street does have several dozen terms for subprime mortgage products, though because of the number of layoffs of Wall Street's finest, most of these are unprintable in a decent public forum. But I digress.)

You might have used such other snowclones, such as "Got X [milk]?" Or perhaps: "(Dammit, Jim,) I'm a doctor, not an [X]." Or even: "I'm not an [X], but I play one on TV." So in a move that will surprise nobody more than my editors (hey guys, I finally came up with my own subheads!), I've lazily inserted some classic snowclones below as phrasal templates to illuminate a few reasons behind small-cap value stocks' market dominance, and current strong positioning.

Give me your poor, your tired, your small-cap value stocks
In one of my favorite articles, "70 Times Better than the Next Microsoft," I recounted why small-cap value stocks crush the other quadrants of the market, large value, large growth, and especially small growth, over time. It's mostly because small value stocks are unexciting, spat upon, and ignored. They're the type of companies that seem painfully outdated, quaint, poor -- tired, even -- compared to the exciting tech stocks, biotechs, and other sectors that end up getting bid up to the moon -- and consequently disappoint the majority of investors. And yet, the returns are stunning. Here's one of my favorite tables proving the point:

Sector

Annual Returns, 1927-2005

Large-Cap Growth

9.54%

Large-Cap Value

12.37%

Small-Cap Growth

9.22%

Small-Cap Value

15.37%

Total Stock Market

10.01%

The most dramatic example this year is the way coal stocks like James River Coal (Nasdaq: JRCC) have taken off, moving up 200%-plus year to date. James River has done so with a fraction of the attention sexier companies garner -- think back to the nonstop headlines after Google's (Nasdaq: GOOG) IPO, or the attention tech bellwether Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO) received in the go-go 1990s.

Small-cap value is the new black -- and the new strong buys
When something is anointed the "new black," it is so hot and trendy that it will replace the old guard. The new black will be the color everyone will wear. Well, at least until the next "new black." Nothing ever really does replace black, but this construction is an attempt to promote something of the moment.

The highest compliment you can give to a stock in some corners is to say it is a "strong buy." But you know what? Small-cap value stocks are virtually never given Wall Street's official imprimatur as strong buys. The lack of such ratings keeps small value stocks at far better prices than the highly followed and touted large caps that do get dozens of strong buy ratings from the Street. Never being "the new black" or "strong buys" has provided small-cap value stocks' actual investors with great entry points for their money.

Though small-cap value stocks are dramatically underfollowed on Wall Street, numerous studies and reports argue that they have the best returns. Combine that fact with the particularly attractive prices at which these stocks are trading today, and you're looking at something far better than "the new black" or a "strong buy." You're looking at the antithesis of trendy: boring companies with boring returns over the past two years. These are precisely the companies that tend to dramatically beat the market over the long term -- especially after dry periods like the one we've just witnessed.

There's no crying in small-cap value!
Small-cap value doesn't beat the market average every year -- its performance in the past two and a half years or so has alternated between "desultory" and "painful." Some of that underperformance results from the performance of financial companies, which comprise a large chunk of the value indices. However badly large caps such as Citigroup (NYSE: C) and JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM) have performed, small-cap regional banks like Cascade Bancorp (Nasdaq: CACB) and City National (NYSE: CYN) have followed suit.

But you won't see us crying about that at Hidden Gems. The prices and opportunities that are available in small-cap value, particularly outside of financials, haven't been seen for at least four years, and probably closer to six.

Stocks with strong, predictable growths

2008-05-24T01:30:00.003-05:00

"There are whole swaths of the market right now where it's difficult to have high conviction," said Parton, who co-manages JPMorgan Growth Advantage Fund (VHIAX:
8.42, -0.06, -0.7%) with Christopher Jones. "We've really focused on high quality, predictable companies with repeat revenue to anchor the portfolio. They tend to be the most bullet-proof business models."

Parton runs a multicap portfolio of about 85 stocks that so far has weathered the market's recent storms quite well. The fund's Class A shares gained 10.3% over the 12 months through May 16 compared with a 2.7% rise for its category peers, according to fund-tracker Lipper Inc. Its three-year annualized 16% gain also outpaces its rivals' 11.7% average return.
"We've been trying to focus on higher-conviction names and kick out things that have issues or question marks," Parton noted. "In such an unforgiving market, there's no point in trying to fight too hard when something is in the penalty box."
MasterCard
One company that earns the fund manager's confidence is MasterCard Inc. (MA: 273.22, -2.68, -1.0%) , the credit-card giant.
First is its global brand -- more than half of its business is outside of the U.S., where consumer health is stronger, Parton said. Second, using plastic over cash for purchases is increasingly common. Third, MasterCard takes a fee based on the value of every transaction, and the bill for many goods and services that people use a credit card for -- gasoline, fast food, even taxis -- is going up.
"There are nice, long, underlying growth drivers to the business," he said. "There's reasonably assured top-line revenue growth and a very leverageable business model with relatively fixed costs, so margins will go up gradually over time."
Shares of MasterCard closed Monday at $280, down $3.40.

Illumina Inc. (ILMN:76.22, -1.13, -1.5%) is one of the "purer high-growth companies" on Parton's screen nowadays. The company, a newer portfolio addition, is on the cutting edge of a growing field -- developing tools and systems used in genetic studies and testing.
"The trend to using genetic analysis and research is still very early," Parton said. "This kind of equipment is being bought everywhere -- universities, biotech companies" and other facilities.
The stock is not cheap, he notes, but its price reflects the 40% to 50% growth rate Parton expects. "They've definitely exceeded expectations," he said. "You have such strong dominance and intellectual property and high growth; these sorts of companies can often hold very high multiples."
In trading Monday, shares of Illumina added 76 cents to $79.04.
Southwestern Energy
The demand for more electricity and power in the U.S. is well-known. How to supply it is less apparent. Many strategists are pinning hopes for meeting demand on nuclear energy or coal, but those large-scale projects are years from completion, Parton said. Short-term, he added, the answer to the country's energy needs is natural gas.
"There are few alternatives to natural gas," Parton said. "That is going to support natural gas prices very well. What you've seen and will continue to see is a premium valuation put on companies that have long-lived natural-gas assets that have some certainty to it."

That is, companies such as Southwestern Energy (SWN:
45.05, -0.44, -1.0%) , one of the fund's top holdings.
Parton's case for Southwestern Energy hinges in large part on its stake in a natural-gas gold mine called the Fayetteville Shale. The company has a major portion of the acreage in this Arkansas land, which Parton said creates a steady, recurring and profitable business.
"Now we're into the sweet spot," he said. "They've explored most areas of the Shale, and can focus their efforts and energy."
On Monday, shares of Southwestern Energy fell 25 cents to $45.87

LIST OF LONG-TERM INVETMENT STOCKS!!!

2008-05-23T16:23:00.000-05:00

Long-term investing candidates often share a few common traits: steady profit growth, a product that's needed in good times or bad, and geographic diversification.

Idex (IEX) fits the bill on most of those counts. The Northbrook, Ill., company makes pumps, valves, flow meters and other engineered fluid-handling equipment.

Its four segments cover markets such as agriculture, chemical processing, fuels, health care, food and beverage, and water.

The fluid and metering segment accounted for 42% of 2007 revenue, followed by health and safety with 24%, fire and safety/diversified with 21% and dispensing with 13%.

More than half of sales, 54%, came from the U.S. and 25% from Europe. Other countries, which include Australia, Brazil, China, India, Mexico and Singapore, made up the remaining 21%.

Idex has increased its annual profit in each of the past six years, and is expected to do so for at least two more years. Analysts call for 12% growth this year and 12% the next.

A 23% five-year growth rate in earnings per share and an EPS Stability Rating of 3 may also appeal to the long-term investor.

Annual pretax margin improved in each of the past six years, reaching 17.6% in 2007.

The stock reached an all-time high Aug. 9 before easing to start a base. It corrected as much as 40%, more than many other stocks with stable earnings performance, but still within acceptable range given the bear market at the time.

The week it hit the low of its base, Idex closed in the upper half of its range in heavy trade, a sign of support. It's now 14% off its high.

THE " SMART " COMPANIES.

2008-05-23T16:21:00.001-05:00

What is a leader? Someone with internal and external strength. Someone who is great in a particular field, stands out from the rest and leads the way. George Washington. Abraham Lincoln. Winston Churchill.

Stocks are the same way. Think of some of the earth-shattering performances over the decades. IBM, (IBM) Dell, (DELL) Yahoo, (YHOO) Home Depot, (HD) Microsoft, (MSFT) Apple. (AAPL)

Remember when coffee shops were famous for serving awful coffee? That was before Starbucks (SBUX) worked that niche into a $12 billion company.

A market leader must do more than make money. It must grow its bottom line at an outstanding rate, demonstrating its muscle also with superior sales growth, return on equity, profit margins and cash flow.

What's a stock worth when the company earns $1 a share? That depends. What did it earn last year? What are expectations for the full fiscal year?

If the company has been stuck at $1 a share, and will stay stuck for years, then the stock won't be worth any more than a steady stream of $1 bills.

Let's look at another $1-a-share listing. It earned 33 cents last year, 2 cents the year before that. The current year? Analysts expect $2.50. That stock will be worth a lot more.

How can a company grow its profit so much that it creates a frenzy in the stock market?

Usually by producing a better product or service. By finding a new gizmo that everyone must have. Or by doing or making an old thing in a better way.

Sometimes, economic or industry conditions change dramatically. For example, fertilizer makers have flourished as corn and other crop prices swell on global demand for food, feed and ethanol.

IBD never tells you what stocks to buy. But it does introduce readers to a wealth of companies that may fit the bill in features such as the IBD 100, Stocks In The News and The New America.

Find a company producing superior financials and chances are it has come out with an innovative — or perhaps blockbuster — product or service.

What of those two stocks that earn $1 a share? Flatliners have low price-earnings ratios. If one were BCE, (BCE) a Canadian telecom, that stock would be trading at 15 a share.

If the other were, say, BlackBerry maker Research In Motion, (RIMM) you'd be looking at a P/E of 61. Solar power leader First Solar (FSLR) : 156. So don't let "high" P/E ratios keep you away from a winner.

Leading stocks earn the respect of institutional investors, and that's reflected in ownership by mutual funds, insurers and other major players. A stock of institutional quality will show it by making well-crafted bases and sustained advances

have $ 1000 , wat do nxt==>

2008-05-23T15:49:00.000-05:00

Have you noticed that when the market tanks, seasoned investors such as Warren Buffett, instead of selling, wade in looking for bargains?
They probably figure that in the future, we'll recognize that this summer's market volatility was a buying opportunity. But what if you're not Warren Buffett? Say you only have $1,000 to invest?
If you're in that boat, don't even think about individual stocks. Even great stock pickers come up with their share of duds. You need to own at least 10 stocks to keep one clunker from sinking your portfolio returns. You can't do that with $1,000.
Your best approach is to put that $1,000 in an old-fashioned managed mutual fund. Traditional managed funds aren't as fashionable as the new kid on the block, exchange-traded funds, but they are a better fit. Most ETFs track indexes that reflect the action of a particular market segment. To use them effectively, you have to successfully predict which sectors are going to outperform over your investment horizon, say the next 12 months. That is harder than it looks.
By contrast, mutual-fund managers can adjust their portfolios as needed to reflect market conditions.
Below, I'll show you how to spot low-risk funds likely to outperform the overall market. That's already a rare combination, but finding funds that fit that bill and also welcome small investors is about as easy as turning a triple play in baseball.
However, with the aid of MSN Money's Deluxe Screener, I was able to turn up 8 worthwhile candidates. Here's how I did it.
Suitable for small investors? I started by defining a universe of funds suitable for small investors.
Open to new customers: Some funds, especially those specializing in small companies, stop accepting new investors when they think that they already have as much money as they can wisely invest, so there's no point to including them in the results.
Screening parameter: Closed to New Investors = false

A Beginner's Guide to Investing
Open to small investors: Since the bookkeeping and customer-support costs are basically the same regardless of account size, many funds establish relatively high minimum opening balances to avoid dealing with small investors. This screening parameter rules out funds that won't accept $1,000 initial investments.
Screening parameter: Minimum Initial Purchase <= $1,000
Special purpose not: The screener database lists some funds with $0 minimum initial purchase requirements. These are, in fact, available only via special purchase plans, such as plans for college students. I eliminate them here.
Screening parameter: Minimum Initial Purchase >= $1
Institutions only: Some funds cater to pension plans, trust funds and other institutional investors, and don't want individual investors. This factor rules them out.
Screening parameter: Institutional Investors = false
Say no to loads: Many fund operators rely on financial advisers and stockbrokers to market their funds. They collect special fees, called "loads," to compensate the adviser or broker for recommending their funds. Front loads are paid when you purchase and deferred loads are paid when you sell. Most load funds charge one or the other, not both.
Since the loads are marketing expenses, there is no point in paying them if you're picking funds on your own.
Screening parameter: Front Load = zero
Screening parameter: Deferred Sales Charge = zero

Rating your mutual fund managerMSN Strategy Lab expert Ken Kam shares two critical tips for seeing how mutual fund managers measure up.
The screener sometimes lists funds that pass all of the above tests but are available only through financial advisers. To rule them out, I require that passing funds must be available through Charles Schwab's retail network. I'm not necessarily recommending purchasing through Schwab, but of the available broker choices in the screener, Schwab offers the biggest fund selection.
Screening parameter: Brokerage Availability = Schwab Retail
Stocks, not bonds Some mutual funds invest mainly in bonds instead of stocks. Bonds may or may not have a place in your portfolio. But, today, we're looking for stock funds. However, because some stock funds hold bonds to reduce risk, I allow at least 20% bond holdings.
Screening parameter: Percent Stocks >= 80
Out of 5,000 or so mutual funds, only 195 passed those tests. Next, we'll pick the low-risk funds with the best price-appreciation prospects from that list.
Go with the best stock pickers As is the case for practically every endeavor in life, some fund managers are better stock pickers than others. While this is a controversial topic, I've found, assuming that the same manager is at the helm, a fund with a strong historical track record is likely to outperform funds that have lagged the market, at least over the next year or so.
To find those managers, I required a minimum 17% average annual return over the past three years. By comparison, the overall market, at least as measured by the S&P 500 Index ($INX)
has averaged a 12.5% or so annual return over the same period.
Screening parameter: 3-Year annualized Return >= 17
Expert help Morningstar rates funds by comparing their historical returns to volatility, which is a risk measure. Morningstar rates funds from one to five stars, where five is best. Funds with the highest return-to-volatility ratio within the same category (e.g. small-cap growth) get the highest ratings.
While Morningstar's ratings aren't perfect, as was the case with three-year returns, they are a good place to start. I've had the best results sticking with four- and five-star-rated funds.
Screening parameter: Morningstar Rating >= 4 stars
Steer clear of volatility Sharp share price downdrafts often scare investors into selling, even when the fund's long-term outlook is strong. Volatility measures how much a fund's share price has bounced around in the past. By sticking with low-volatility funds, you'll reduce your chances of selling at the wrong time.
Morningstar's risk rating compares a fund's historical volatility to all other funds in its category. The possible ratings are high, above average, average, below average and low. While the lower the better, I've found that the "low" rated funds generally don't produce market-beating returns. So, I accept both "low" and "below average" ratings.
Screening parameter: Morningstar Risk: <= Below Average
Standard deviation gauges a fund's volatility on an absolute basis, instead of comparing it to other funds in the same category. So, it also pays to stick with low-volatility funds based on that measure as well Morningstar's risk rating.
Funds with standard deviations of 15 or lower are relatively safe, and I set my maximum acceptable standard deviation at that level. However, the lower the better, so try reducing that figure to 10 or 11 to further minimize risk.
Screening parameter: Standard Deviation: <= 15
Avoid new managers Since they are based on historical results, the return and risk figures are meaningless if the fund manager responsible for those results jumps ship. Since I used three-year returns for my first cut, it makes sense to require that the same manager has been on board for at least three years.
Screening parameter: Manager Tenure >= 3-years
My screen turned up 8 funds with the magic combination of strong historical returns, relatively low risk and availability to small investors.

Stocks that climb to 10 times their original price are a rare breed -- but they're not impossible to find. Especially when you have Fools for friends.

The market's best stocks include companies that have risen hundreds of times in value over the past decade. These aren't penny stocks; they're viable companies with sound business prospects, achieving phenomenal returns every year. Finding just one or two of these monstrously successful companies can help you establish a winning portfolio.

Stalking the monster
To find tomorrow's monster stocks, we'll enlist the more than 105,000 investors at Motley Fool CAPS. We've compiled a list of the most successful CAPS players, dubbed All-Stars, whose picks have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled in price. Then we've plucked some of their recent picks for stocks they find equally promising.

Ironman competition
The $98.6 million box office gross for its opening weekend made Iron Man the top movie release so far this year. In fact, having grossed more than $222 million so far, it is already the top-grossing movie all year. And as a movie that's not a sequel, it ranks second only to Spider-Man, which raked in $114 million, in having the biggest domestic opening ever. It didn't take studio honchos long to figure out that what was needed was an Iron Man sequel.

It's no wonder, then, that Marvel Entertainment -- the company behind both franchises -- has seen its stock surge since the start of the month. Add in a stellar earnings report that saw the comic-book-character warehouse raise earnings guidance for the year, and shares are up more than 17% so far for May, and more than 26% for the last 12 months.

Perhaps most importantly for Marvel with the Iron Man franchise, is that the movie is the company's first fully self-financed production. The arrangement carried risks for the Motley Fool Stock Advisor recommendation -- just look at the flop that was Speed Racer. Yet it turned out to be a smashing success. The movie cost just $150 million to make, and Viacom picked up the tab for the $75 million in marketing costs for which it received a flat fee. With Robert Downey Jr. agreeing to reprise his role in the sequel set for release in 2010, this could be a monster franchise with the stickiness of Spider-Man's web.

It's the incredible cast of characters from which Marvel has to choose that has investors like CAPS player fthfool seeing Hulk-green for it:

Solid balance sheet! Tons of cash and they have now entered into the real entertainment business which is movie making. [It's] risky but the rewards $$$. They will pull this off and I believe in a big way! Can't you see that hi tech special effects are dominating the movie theaters. What better company can capitalize on that with 5,000 plus super [heroes] character.

It was undoubtedly Downey's performance as the movie's hero that catapulted Iron Man to the stratosphere. Here is CAPS investor tim882's view from the balcony:

Marvel Entertainment is looking good for the foreseeable future. Turning a B-list superhero like Iron Man into the box-office blockbuster it was speaks well for the company over the next 3 years. Captain America, Iron Man 2, and the Avengers movie will all be massive, massive box office hits.

GREEN STOCKS!!!!!!

For those who want to 'go green' there are new opportunities to tap the environmental trend by adding cutting edge, alternative energy ETFs to your portfolio," says Doug Fabian, editor of Successful Investing.
"ETF providers are starting to latch onto the green theme. Two fund families, PowerShares and Market Vectors, have created their own classes of clean energy ETFs. A pair of ETFs has been launched in the narrow but potentially profitable niche of solar energy.
"The Claymore/MAC Global Solar Energy Index ETF (NYSE: TAN) is designed to track 25 companies in the solar power industry. Sectors included in the ETF are equipment producers, companies that concentrate on selling electricity, and suppliers of materials or services, installation, integration or finance. TAN currently invests in companies such as MEMC Electronic Materials, Suntech Power Holdings, and LDK Solar Co. Ltd.
"Van Eck Global launched the Solar Energy ETF (ASE: KWT). That solar energy ETF seeks to replicate the price and yield performance of the Ardour Solar Energy Index, which includes companies that generate at least 66% of their revenues from solar energy. The four top holdings are First Solar, Germany's Q-Cells and Solarworld AG, and Norway's Renewable Energy.

2008-03-07T16:27:00.000-06:00

My pick for the monday would be Washington Mutual (WM). Shares are down by nearly 40-50 % this week and expected for downfall. It's looking for a possible injection of funds, so the right time to buy before hearing the good news...Watch out !!!

is the u.s economy in recission????

2008-03-06T21:14:00.002-06:00

Not a good put up from the wall street today!!!!. Citigroup shares hit the lowest today in its 9 years. Analysts predict that the financial sector will still continue to drop . So, wait for the drop and don't be in a haste to buy the financial stocks. They can swing so bad that " you " can go bankrupt.
