Top 10 Cheapest Companies To Buy Right Now

He's baaack.

After missing seven straight games with a broken�collarbone, Aaron Rodgers will return to the�Green Bay Packers for a do-or-die showdown against the�Chicago Bears at Soldier Field this Sunday. Arguably, no NFL player means more to his team than�Rodgers, who is the league's highest-paid quarterback, and his comeback couldn't come at a better time. The�Packers can win the NFC North with a win, salvaging what many thought was a lost season.

Are fans gearing up even more than usual? More specifically, are ticket prices up?

The data tells the story
As I pointed out in my piece on Derrick Rose and Chicago Bulls ticket prices, StubHub, a subsidiary of eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY  ) , is a great source for ticket information. By analyzing cached versions of the site, it's possible to obtain historical prices rather easily.

    We have recently added small cap video chip stock Pixelworks, Inc (NASDAQ: PXLW) to our SmallCap Network Elite Opportunity (SCN EO)�as it stands to benefit from the growth in connecting HD quality video across all mobile device platforms, as well as Smart TVs; but Silicon Image, Inc (NASDAQ: SIMG) and Sigma Designs, Inc (NASDAQ: SIGM) are also providing chips for the video or entertainment markets. Moreover, all three of these small cap stocks have recently reported earnings that might leave you feeling even more bullish.

  • [By Roberto Pedone]

    The exact same setup is shaping up in shares of small-cap semiconductor firm Silicon Image (SIMG). Like HCP, this firm is stuck trading in a downtrending channel. Unlike HCP, trendline resistance is a whole lot stronger in this stock. Shares have gotten swatted down on each of the last eight attempts through that ceiling; with shares at resistance again, the high-probability move is to the downside.

    Again, relative strength has been terrible since the summer; SIMG is underperforming the S&P by a considerable margin. Downtrending relative strength is a cardinal sin for stocks, so with shares sitting at resistance, now's a stellar place to be a seller. While support has been pretty strong along the way down, SIMG's previous penetrations through S1 should be a big red flag that buyers are skittish.

    SIMG is in a textbook downtrend right now. Don't get caught on the wrong side of the trade.

    Quick - what do Simon Property Group Inc. (NYSE:SPG), Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Inc. (NYSE:DPS), and Silicon Image, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIMG) have in common? If you said absolutely nothing, you'd be about 99% right. There's one common thing between SIMG, SPG, and DPS right now, however. What's that? All three stocks are on my personal "buy" list this week.

    This series, brought to you by Yahoo! Finance, looks at which upgrades and downgrades make sense, and which ones investors should act on. Today, our headlines feature a pair of downgrades for Ryder System (NYSE: R  ) and Zions Bancorp (NASDAQ: ZION  ) . But the news isn't all bad, so before we address those two, let's start with why one analyst thinks...

    Lest there be any doubt about the magnitude of implications for the banking sector from rising long-term interest rates, Fitzpatrick went on to note a number of startling predictions. First, the full percentage-point jump in rates has already eroded $31 billion in accounting gains from the nation's largest banks. And second, according to estimates from regional bank Zions Bancorp (NASDAQ: ZION  ) , if these rates increase by three percentage points, the capital held by the industry would decline by a staggering $200 billion, reducing lending capacity by an estimated $2 trillion.

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Jonathan Yates]

    There has been a great deal of concern about the United States suffering from a "lost generation" as Japan has now for several. For investors in oil, this has certainly not been the case: A recent article in The Wall Street Journal noted that oil has risen 310% (Brent Crude) over the last decade. The future looks equally promising for investments in the sector such as ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP), Suncor Energy (NYSE: SU), Americas Petrogas (BOE.V), and Octagon 88 (OTCBB: OCTX).

  • [By Arjun Sreekumar]

    Given current oil prices, that means several projects are barely profitable, leading some oil sands operators to reconsider new ventures. For instance, Suncor Energy (NYSE: SU  ) , one of the largest oil sands producers by output, has been mulling over the profitability of three mining-related ventures jointly proposed with French oil major Total (NYSE: TOT  ) .

  • [By Tyler Crowe]

    According to former Suncor Energy (NYSE: SU  ) CEO, Rick George, oil sands producers need to do a better job improving the image of this particular type of oil. While the unflattering image that oil sands production has among the general public is probably not helping, there are much bigger fish for oil sands producers to fry. Increased operating costs, labor shortages, and a lack of takeaway capacity are just a few of the major problems that oil sands producers need to address to get the most from this emerging energy source.

  • [By Achilles Research]

    Marathon Oil has been doing well for shareholders with the second best performance in the peer group. Anadarko Petroleum (APC), which I have rated as a Sell recently because the share price has run away from its fundamentals, has returned 186% over five years. Marathon Oil achieved 124%, Occidental Petroleum (OXY) 105%, Suncor Energy (SU) 63%, Apache Corp. (APA) 20% and Devon Energy (DVN) 14%. As a value investor with a contrarian tilt I naturally look at underperformers because they often offer the best risk/reward ratio and asymmetric pay-off profiles. I also just recently added to my positions in Devon Energy and Apache Corp. as they are just too cheap to ignore (thesis here and here). Apache was extraordinarily hit on overblown fears of potential oil production interruptions in Egypt and corresponding asset sales.

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Martin Vlcek]

    Strattec Security Corp. (STRT) is a growing small-cap company with more than 100 years in the automotive supply industry and strong sales growth since 2009. The success and growth of Strattec are still mostly influenced by the global automotive markets. As many analysts still predict ongoing industry growth, the company is poised to continue strongly benefiting from this automotive tailwind. However, the company's recent diversification efforts into new product lines, industries outside of automotive and countries outside of the U.S. have created multiple new growth drivers that will ensure Strattec's continued robust sales and EPS expansion. The company's growth has also become much more balanced and more resilient to a potential automotive industry shock or U.S. slowdown.
