Being Right or Making Money

If you’re looking for investing strategies to help identify undervalued stocks with strong cash holdings, look no further. Your education starts here.


We put together a list of potentially undervalued and fiscally sound stocks by finding names that met all of the following conditions:


- Trailing twelve month (TTM) net profit margin is at least 30% higher than the net profit margin in the previous period. Net profit margin (TTM) is also above 10%.
- Current price is 20% or more below its target price
- Cash and cash equivalents over the recent quarter greater than long-term debt.
- Market cap above $500M


Lastly, we narrowed down our results by identifying the stocks that have experienced significant levels of net institutional buying over the current quarter.


Investing can be complicated, especially when so many accounting terms are being used. If any of the terms above don’t make sense to you, have no fear. Let’s take a look at what each of these metrics mean and why they are important: 

Cash and cash equivalents exceeding long-term debt: It is always good for a company to have solid holdings of cash and cash equivalents. Cash is the most liquid asset because it can easily be used to pay off debts, taxes, dividends, etc. in a pinch, while other assets like property and inventory take time and/or effort to convert to cash, a concept known as "illiquidity".

When a company has more cash than debt, risks to stockholders are lessened because these companies are better prepared to carry their debt and more likely to pay out dividends.

Increasing Net Profit Margin: Net profit margin describes how much profit a company keeps for every $1 it generates in revenues. It is calculated as net profits divided by sales and is reported as a percentage. Increased net profit margin is a good thing because it means the company is retaining more earnings and implies that it is in better control of its costs.

Trailing twelve months (TTM): TTM is an indication that the calculated data has come from the last twelve months.  For example, if data released in July 2045 is "TTM" (ie, P/E TTM or "Trailing P/E"), this means the price and the earning-per-share data comes from the twelve-month period of August 2044 to July 2045. 

Target Price: Analyst target prices can be very useful guides for investors. The target price is a price level set by analysts that, based on their data and estimates, represents their predictions for that company in the upcoming year. Because analysts often have different opinions, we use the average analyst target price. Although target price is upwardly biased, a steep discount from this number can signal that the company has more value to price in (meaning, the stock price may rise).

Institutional Buying: Institutional investors are also known as "big money" investors or managers. They represent big pools of money such as investment banks, pension funds, mutual funds, hedge funds, endowment funds, etc. When they invest in stocks, they can invest hundreds of thousands of dollars or more at one time.


Regular investors pay attention to what institutional investors do because it is easy enough to assume that the big money managers know what they are doing -- or at the very least know more than the average investor. This is why these investors are also sometimes referred to as "smart money.” Note, investors should never blindly trust analysts or institutional investors or anybody else. Use information on institutional investing with other research before making any investing decisions.

1. The President Declares He Will Shoot His Hostages



Everyone is using the hostage metaphor these days regarding the debt ceiling. Barack Obama started it back in December when he called the GOP hostage takers before the GOP gave him everything he wanted.


Well, I hope the GOP noticed Barack Obama yesterday upped the ante and declared his willingness to shoot his hostages, i.e. senior citizens. Yes, if the GOP dares to hold the line on spending cuts, Barack Obama will balk, the debt limit will not be raised, and Obama will refuse to pay senior citizens.


Jim Pethokoukis notes a Goldman Sachs report showing there will be plenty of money flowing into the treasury in August for the government to pay its debt obligations, pay social security obligations, pay military obligations, and avoid default. But Obama won’t let facts stand in the way of starving senior citizens to score political points against the GOP.


Of course, it is not just Obama willing to score political points. Mitch McConnell wants to give Barack Obama the right to automatically raise the debt ceiling. The only caveat is McConnell wants everyone to know it’ll be Obama who does it, not the GOP. Just how bad is McConnell’s plan? After David Hauptmann, a staffer in McConnell’s office, sent out an email linking to a National Review Online column that said Grover Norquist “supported” Mitch McConnell’s capitulation, Americans for Tax Reform rapidly sent out a press release saying Norquist did not support the plan, just “the goals.” They also asked NRO to clarify.


Undeterred, McConnell enlisted the support of the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page, which came out swinging not just in favor of McConnell’s plan, but also pretty directly against me. I can console myself that they also supported McConnell’s push for TARP.

2. Mitch McConnell Just Proposed the “Pontius Pilate Pass the Buck Act of 2011?



Consider the Associated Press’s headline right now: “GOP Leader McConnell proposes giving Obama new power for automatic debt limit increase”


Mitch McConnell is right now talking about making a historic capitulation. So fearful of being blamed for a default, McConnell is proposing a compromise that lets Barack Obama raise the debt ceiling without making any spending cuts at all.


Consider sending McConnell a weasel as testament to his treachery. His address is 601 W. Broadway, Room 630, Louisville, KY 40202 and the phone number is (502) 582-6304.


McConnell’s idea is to make the debt ceiling automatic unless Congress, by a 2/3 vote blocks the increase. Oh yes, he put a salve on it by dressing it up in tough talk that, to quote the Wall Street Journal, “[a] ‘eal solution’ to U.S. fiscal problems isn’t possible as long as President Barack Obama remains in office.” So since no “real solution” is possible, McConnell proposes to go Pontius Pilate and wash his hands of spending, blaming Obama while doing nothing himself.


Here is how the plan would work.

3. Mr. President, What Are Your Priorities?



President Barack Obama has announced that he may not be able to mail Social Security checks out on 3 August if he has not been given an increased debt ceiling to borrow more money for the government. The blackmail attempts have officially begun. Give us more money now, or watch the entitlement recipients in YOUR Congressional District start to get it.


According to James Pethokoukis, the US Treasury is not precluded from specifically making the next Social Security payment by actual liquidity. “Social Security payments Treasury needs to make on Aug 3. $22 billion. Treasury cash balance on Aug. 3: $74 billion.”


This implies these payments would be stopped as a result of fiscal priorities greater than making Social Security payments that totaled an amount greater than the $52Bn that the Treasury would have on its books as of 3 August 2011. As concerned American citizens, we are owed a dutiful and factual accountings of what those specific priorities happen to be. This is, after all, the most honest and open administration in the history of terrestrial democracy. Isn’t it?

4. Random Acts of Vandalism Cause Teamsters To Postpone Funeral Directors’ Strike



As late as Monday, the Teamster-represented funeral directors, embalmers and livery drivers from four Chicago-area nursing home were prepared to walk out on strike on Tuesday over an impasse in negotiations with Service Corporation International.


However, when vandals struck three out of four of the funeral homes that were to have been targeted by the strike, the Teamsters hastily postponed walking out on the dead.

Making Easy Money


Dympol hopes it can catch you at your next checkout for online purchases. The company has created a way to let charities and businesses deliver a final pitch to upsell you to a donation just before you pay for something online.


It’s another example of physical marketing — like all the goods that you can purchase at the checkout stand in a supermarket — being applied to the online market. Dympol calls it “Charitable Checkout,” a service that makes it easy to raise money for charitable causes during online checkout.


Upselling is a pretty old technique in e-commerce checkouts. But Dympol hopes to spice it up by getting celebrities who you know and like to make a personal pitch for you to donate to a cause. The company uses its Dympol E-Commerce Sponsorship Platform to deliver coupon offers and other pitches during online checkout.


The company was founded by Jay Ziskrout, chief executive, and co-founder of the band Bad Religion.


“What we are doing is connecting brands with target consumers as they are buying personally meaningful things and when they are in a mood to spend money,” Ziskrout said in an interview.


The band Switchfoot will use the Charitable Checkout during checkouts for its annual Bro-Am Festival. The Hurley division of Nike has committed to provide more than $100,000 in gift card incentives, and another major sponsor may join shortly.


Combining the charitable pitch with celebrities or known brands that are relevant to the consumer is a good approach, since brands spend about a third of all marketing dollars on getting people to like them. Brands tend to plaster brand imagery around everything people care about so the brand image benefits by association.


But Dympol says its e-commerce platform is a superior approach that combines the relevance of something like Google AdWords with the engagement of branded entertainment and the accountability of performance marketing. It catches users as they are ready to spend money by delivering a “personally meaningful” connection with someone, like a celebrity making a direct pitch for a charity. Conversion rates (the percentage of people who accept the offer to donate) can be as high as 20 percent, far above the usual upsell benchmarks.


With Charitable Checkout, a celebrity can appear in a video, offering to match donations made by their fans. When fans give, they can get brand-sponsored gift cards of equal or greater value to the donation. Social components and a Facebook app complete the process, allowing customers to share their donations. Dympol thinks it will work better because its e-commerce offers are closely tied to metrics.


Besides offering Charitable Checkout, Dympol also offers something it calls Cheaper Checkout. There, brands can offer a coupon at checkout. Advertisers pay for the ad when users accept the discount offer. The Dympol platform can also be inserted in non-e-commerce systems, such as a Facebook page or a blog.


The company has four employees and was founded in 2008. Dympol competes with other branded advertising as well as with performance marketing firms such as TrialPay. Dympol has raised $400,000 in seed funding from Jeffrey Ubben, chief executive of Value Act Capital and former chairman of Martha Stewart Omnimedia. Other investors include company principals and advisors.


More deals are in the pipeline with talent agencies, management companies, and broadcast networks. That will give Dympol access to rosters of music artists, athletes, and personalities. The company is currently raising a new round of funding.




The rich are getting richer during this economic crisis and in the UK, they've already made it much easier for the rich-but-dumb crowd to buy their way into universities. Now, the Tories have made money an even stronger component in the decision making process. Besides being more easy money for the bankers, anyone with a loan for university also gets easy access. (Unlike the US, university in the UK used to be reasonably priced and easy to afford without a bank loan. The Tory austerity plan blew up that old pricing model.)

So come to England where if you had wads of cash or if you want to help your local banker, you too can get ahead. Oh what a fair system brought to you by the blue bloods. How can anyone argue that this is not more class warfare from the haves?

Universities UK, which represents universities, has been consulted. Its president, Sir Steve Smith, who is vice-chancellor of Exeter University, said the proposal to allow banks to exploit the student market carried huge risks and could create a two-tier education system.

He said the Department for Business Innovation and Skills had proposed that students taking private loans would be counted outside the allotment of places each university is given by the government, making them attractive to colleges aiming to increase their cash flow.

Smith said the consequent risk of a two-tier higher education system had "nasty" implications. "They [the government] have talked to us about that, but the trouble is that it has the obvious objection that it looks awfully like those people buying their way in."
