We've all enjoyed a good rally in the past couple weeks, but where are the stocks that have been knocked down so badly that the potential profits are mind-blowing?

A few weeks ago, I had my eyes on Office Depot, Inc. (ODP) priced at nearly $0.70. On April 16th, 2009 the price is $1.94. That's a 177% RETURN!

With the economy the way it is, it's hard to find any company that is even somewhat sheltered from being beaten down. There is one company, however, that is defying the market's gravitational pull.

eHealth Inc. (EHTH) is an internet based health insurance provider for families and small businesses. Their headquarters are based in Mountain View, CA, the same city as Google (GOOG), and were established in 1997. Despite the downturn, they have doubled the number of policies from nearly 500,000 in 2007 to presently over 1,000,000. The potential for US subscribers is much larger still.

The spread between Dow Chemical's (DOW) offer and Rohm and Haas' (ROH) stock price has widened despite reassurance that the deal will go through. Xinhua Financial News reports that Dow Chemical Co stated on Monday that it considered altering the structure of its bid for specialty chemicals maker Rohm and Haas and was committed to completing the acquisition.

"...[W]e're committed to closing the deal," Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Andrew Liveris said on a conference call in response to a question from an analyst.The company also said it would take an estimated $700 million in pretax charges, or 50 to 60 cents per share, in the fourth quarter to implement the job cuts and operational reductions announced earlier on Monday.

We are entering the holiday season with the financial crisis still at large. With so much damage already done in the stock market, many stocks have become way undervalued. Value Investing is the best way to make money while hitting rock-bottom prices.

My mission was to find a few consumer-based stocks that are largely undervalued and will do well in the next 9-18 months. Although many analysts have knocked down companies' stocks because they expect weak 2008 holiday sales, the magnitude of these drops in stock prices has been greatly overstated.
