Value Stocks —Get More for your Money

[/fusion_text][fusion_text]I really love a sale. When gas is below $2 a gallon, it brightens my day. When I buy last year’s model of anything from an iPhone to a new car, I feel better knowing that I saved money. Many of you can relate to that same joy. What you may not know is that you can get it from the stock market too.

At any given moment, there are individual companies or groups of stocks that are trading at a discount to their peers. These companies are often times ignored, unloved, or otherwise forgotten. That gives you an opportunity to pay less for your share of their profits.

A few years ago the price of oil dropped. Lower oil prices translate directly into lower earnings for most energy companies. So energy stocks went on sale. Regional banks are another example. Low interest rates and new regulations hurt their profits for years. Their stocks went on sale! Over time these conditions pass and you can earn handsome returns by repeating this process. How handsome? U.S value (low-priced) stocks have outperformed U.S. growth stocks by over 3.5% per year on average since 1926.
