Six shunned stocks that deserve some love
The harsh market of the past month has pushed a number of stocks down to attractive levels. Investors who have guts -- and a time horizon of one year or longer -- can smoke out some bargains among them, says John Dorfman, chairman of Thunderstorm Capital and a columnist for Bloomberg News.
But Mr. Dorfman notes that, to take advantage of these gems, investors have to ignore the fear now blinding the market. European debt woes, rising tensions on the Korean peninsula, and the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, have all contributed to the downturn. Value investors, as usual, must possess a contrarian view, plus some courage. Here are six undervalued, shunned stocks that Mr. Dorfman particularly likes, along with his comments.
