Drawing a Bead on 10 Underpriced Stocks
Article Abstract:
By concentrating on small companies which have large projected earnings, and are undervalued on the stock market, an individual investor can find good investment purchases. 'Money' magazine programmed a computer to come up with ten stocks that met their criteria for good purchases using the requirements listed above. The companies they found all have earnings under two hundred and twenty-five million dollars a year, and their price to earnings ratio is under nine. The companies' products or services run from advertising to automotive parts, to home buiders, to packaging to a light fixture manufacturer. While Wall Street also looks for undervalued stocks, they generally do not choose small companies, therefore the ten stocks listed here are ideal for individual investors.
