Under valued stocks would be the best for passive and low risk investing.
I would like to know whether experienced investors are doing this.
Also would love to know some stocks which come under this category. |

| Well it all depends on the company and what they do. Its hard to give a general statement about this, but for the whole I would say mostly yes. You have to be careful though... they could be undervalued for a reason. |

| It's never cut and dry when it comes to buying stocks. As AndrewZ said, the stock could be undervalued for a reason. The best thing to do is track a stock and conduct your own research for a period of time to get a general sense of how the company is doing. The more you know, the less potential for you to be surprised by a negative announcement. |

According to the efficient market hypothesis, no stocks can be undervalued. Once all material information is disseminated, that information is then priced into the stock.
That said, a good way to find whether a stock may be trading in a peculiar position would be to track that stock's historic PE ratio, along with the industry PE ratio (market cap/earnings). If no news has come about, and this stock is trading at a lower PE than it's historic and it's competitors, that stock would be a good buy because chances are it's PE will go back in line, and for it to do that it's price per share would have to increase. |

| How are you all determining whether or not a stock is "undervalued?" |

Well that is certainly the first time I've heard this. I'll have to read up on it more. Thank-you for the informative post. |

I've heard PVX mentioned as a big stock for December, but I personally don't know much about it. Reliable source, but not much more than party talk.
Just thought I'd chime in. |

| Other things can factor into undervaluation too, like how much debt or free cash a company has. It's all about the general prediction of what that company will be able to do with it's overall circumstances as compared to what similar companies in the same sector are working with in their own situations. |

| One way to find out whether a stock is undervalued is to find the intrinsic value. Then you must look at the managment of the company. Value investing is credited to Benjamin Graham. He was know to go strictly by the numbers and not look at things like management. Warren Buffett also uses the value investing method but believes that management is just as important as what the numbers tell about a company. |

The above is true, you would valuate a mature company by finding its intrinsic value. This is done primarily by measuring the increase in cash flows.
And the Efficient Market Hypothesis is complete crap. If I had life to do over again, I would've devoted my honors thesis solely to ripping it apart. |

| PVX actually looks pretty interesting, I will have to get a better look at it later, but I like the dividend... Maybe it'll pull back some more and I might pick some up. |
