Below is a list of 24 stocks that are between $1 and $5, have net positive cash on their balance sheets, have insider buying, and trade at or below 50% of book Value. This is a good starting point from which the reader can do some further work on before deciding to put on any trades on. I included EBITDA and Revenue stats as well.

On Friday, a client asked me to generate a list of stocks trading at "less than cash." As I went about this process and identified almost 1000, I quickly realized how many companies have been wiped out. Many of the names were already in bankruptcy, but many others seem to be headed there. I noticed how many stocks are trading below $1 in my system (StockVal), and it blew me away. I then created a list of 290 names that trade below $1 and are down over 90% in the past year. While I won't publish all of the names, I will say that they are from all sectors of the economy. Suffice it to say, most of these companies are carrying large debt-loads.

By sector, here are some of the names you might know as a consumer or an investor:

Most Volatile Stocks http://seekingalpha.com/article/86002-looking-for-action-most-volatile-stocks?source=feed 86002 For traders with a more short-term time horizon, we have compiled a list of the S&P 1500 stocks that have the largest intraday high-low ranges (based on the average percent spread between the intraday high and low over the last fifty days). We then grouped the stocks based on whether they have a rising or falling 50-day moving average.

Given the large number of stocks in the S&P 1500 currently trading below $10 per share, we also filtered the list to show only the five most volatile stocks (50-days rising and falling) trading in double digits.  As shown, most of the volatile stocks that are in uptrends come from the energy and materials sectors, while the most volatile stocks with declining moving averages come from the financial sector, which even after last week's gains are still in downtrends.

After almost doubling our money in the stock earlier in the year, we've now given back nearly all our gains after Wednesday's drop. However, despite the volatility and the loss of all our paper profits, we're still holding onto the stock. The reason: We like the new, aggressive direction the company is headed in and we plan to hold on to see how this story plays out, even if it takes longer than expected for the company to reignite revenue and earnings growth.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the name, Planar (PLNR) provides LCD monitors and flat panel displays to a wide variety of end markets. The company has had a rough couple of years as more of its products have become commodotized, resulting in pricing pressure and market share losses. We liked the company when we first invested because we spotted a strong balance sheet, a new, experienced, management team intent on keeping the company cash-flow positive despite the rough operating environment in the company's legacy business, and the potential for renewed growth in high-end display markets.

Today, with the release of its quarterly earnings, Planar finally gave passive investors a detailed summary of the company's new long-term business plan. The stock cratered on the news, probably because the new initiatives will decrease earnings in the coming quarters and more importantly entail a somewhat risky acquisition which will deplete a good portion of the company's cash. For a full recap of the details, I suggest you read the earnings press release.
