10 Small to Mid Cap Stocks with Attractive Valuations

I just checked out almost every stock on this list and I've added several to my watchlist.

Just a tip: You'd get a lot more hits/comments if you started posting some key numbers along the names. It's kind of tiring to check out the financials of each stock when you don't know what kind of stocks the writer likes (I'd be mad as hell if you only posted biotech companies with zero revenues).

I'm really impressed with the author of this article. You really were spot on. I hope you can write a new article on KFY/staffing stocks as I'm contemplating an investment in KornFerry.

Royal Carribbean Appears an Outstanding Long-Term Buy

I have stocks in this company, but I don't believe in a 700% growth in the share price on a long term.

While the cruise industry is growing, margins have been steadily declining for the past 10 years. The management's guidance was far higher than the actual results this time, and the guidance for 2009 as a whole, are reflecting the current cruise market.

How do you know it won't get any worse?

Secondly there's the issue of debt. The ships are financed, but how will they pay down debt due this year and in 2010? Without a decent stream of cash flow, this stock will get punished hard, and so will the company.

I do believe that if the company manages it debt properly without retorting to issuing stocks, the share price might be 4-5 times higher than current price.
