Over the last couple of weeks, it has become apparent that the market is trying to rebound. Even in the midst of the debt crisis, there appear to be buy opportunities, and there are certainly bargains out there to be found. Here are some examples that I have invested in over the last month.
APA – Apache corporation is / was a great bargain. It’s PE is a modest 10, and they provide a modest dividend. Over the last couple of weeks has outperformed the S&P 500 by being up over 14% , and is still 20% under it’s 52 week high. I look for this stock to continue its run to ~ $120 before is slows down. 
AMZN – By Definition, this is not a bargain, but I jumped on it when the earnings announcement came out, and the stock took a plunge. If there is one thing you can count on right now is that the market is gong to over react to everything. Look at the chart
QCOM – If you are looking to get into the technology sector, Qualcomm may be for you. They are a leading cell phone chip manufacturer. They have had a large jump in price over the last week. I look at this stock as a longer term hold.
MCD – Did you know that on average every American family eats at McDonalds twice a week? Yes – no wonder we have an obesity issue. That being said, MCD is fat with rewards too. Even if the stock remained even for the year, the nice dividend of 2.6%. But it has not remained even. MCD has grown nicely over the last several months and over the last 6 months has posted a positive return vs the S&P500
