15 Highest Value Score Stocks from Russell 2000

Only problem with this list is that nearly every company on it is now a penny stock and most of them have very significant bankruptcy risks. Certainly, some of them will probably be big gainers, but there are some very legitimate reasons as to why some of these stocks are selling so low.

Chrysler was on the list. GM could've probably made it, as well, but I think the author identified a number of firms with even worser prospects than them. At least you can say GM produces something valuable, even if they've done a lousy job managing their business, finances, and product line.

15 Companies That Might Not Survive 2009

Great list.

Rite-Aid looks like a bankrupt company. Not only in the balance sheet kind-of-way, but in the "poorly organized, overpriced goods from a store with no hint of having any sort of market niche" kind of way. I never-ever shop at Rite-Aid unless it's the only place around. It's been screaming out "BANKRUPTCY" since at least the mid-90s.

I don't see how Krispy Kreme survives, either. On top of having one of the ugliest balance sheets out there, societal trends (health-consciousness) are moving against them.

Blockbuster has always had a "bland corporate movie chain trying to screw you out of as much money as humanly possible" vibe to it. It's no surprise to me that Netflix came in and undermined their business model.


I think Sirius will survive in some form; or at least satellite radio will survive (if not Sirius). Obviously, they have one of the ugliest balance sheets of them all and the stock is priced for bankruptcy right now, but on some level, I think satellite radio is an idea that is simply waiting to succeed. Maybe someone buys their assets or maybe they miraculously figure out a way to succeed - I don't know. But I'm not sure that I can convince myself that satellite radio (a good idea) will simply die off.
