October 12, 2008: Securities For "The List", Part One

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 14:17:00 GMT

As I posted late last week, it is time to begin making a list of those beaten down sectors and individual securities that may bring life back to your portfolio(s) in the future. I am not, repeat -NOT - recommending immediate purchase. The markets are still too destabilized for considered actions unless your objective is pure speculation. I am beginning to do screens featuring the worst performing sectors over the past year. Amongst these include Energy (down 40.46%), Financials (down 38.60%), Capital Goods (down 39.80%) and Conglomerates (down 44.50%). One could consider buying the ETFs for these sectors, perhaps through iShares. However, for the brave, looking at individual stocks for your list might be the way to obtain some very handsome returns.Here are a few stocks within the above sectors that feature an interesting profit margin (TTM) vs. their five year profit margin average. All have been beaten to[More...]

As always, please remember that I am an amateur investor, so please remember to consult with your professional investment advisers prior to making any investment decisions based on information on this website.I have been doing a little bit of "micro-managing" of my portfolio.
