The Buckingham Report

Happy Holidays to all of our Buckingham Report readers and may the New Year bring you peace, happiness and tranquility. To help with the latter, at least on the investment front, and as our Holiday gift to our faithful followers, we have put together a broadly diversified, 26-member list of our favorite undervalued stocks, all of which currently grace the recommended pages of The Prudent Speculator. Of course, as with all of our selections, each is to be held for its long-term, three-to-five year appreciation potential.

Now simply publishing the list wouldn’t be much fun, so we chose to create our own Holiday Calendar where readers mouse over the date to reveal the recommendation. Prudent Speculator subscribers can access an additional list of the same companies, including related financial and valuation metrics, via a special report on our web site, prudentspeculator.com.

Seems like everyone's been co-opting the traditional 24-day Advent Calendar this year—our local grocery store Trader Joe’s is offering a chocolate treat-filled version, and even Danish toy maker Lego is selling one filled with its popular building blocks. So our Holiday Calendar contains a stock recommendation prize under each of 26 days, starting December 1. Seeking not to offend anyone, our calendar extends beyond the customary Advent conclusion on Christmas Eve to include Christmas Day, the start of Hanukkah, the beginning of Kwanzaa and Boxing Day. Enjoy!
