For deep value investors, the U.S. stock market offers slim pickings. A quick glance at the Russell 1000 Value Index will tell you that large capitalization, U.S., companies are not cheap at a price-to-earnings ratio of 19 times.
The S&P 500 is up almost 2.8% since the beginning of February and up over 8% since Donald Trump was elected President. Consequently, it is important to focus on stocks with two characteristics: an attractive relative valuation and sensitivity to policy changes.
The Trump administration has promised to cut corporate regulations and tax rates, and engage in massive fiscal stimulus. Assuming those policy changes can be implemented they are naturally bullish for the stock market. The key is to find companies that are likely to be benefit asymmetrically for those policy changes and which do not already carry unreasonable valuations.
Attached you will find a couple of stocks that might be interesting in this enviroment. I run a screen with a main focus on valuation and growth.
These were my results...maybe you agree. There are some names on the list that are not popular but might be interesting in terms of free cash flow.

50 Potentially Undervalued Stocks For Dividend Income Investors
During my daily research about dividend income stocks that may offer true values for investors, I read a great article about stocks with a potential undervalueation which I like to share with you today here.
Dividend investing has always had a certain appeal with investors. Over time, dividend income has comprised a significant portion of long-term stock gains.
Even better, over the long run, dividend-paying stocks have delivered better total return performance than non-dividend payers and generally have done so with lower volatility.
Potentially higher returns and lower risk...is that something your clients might be interested in? Here’s a look at 50 undervalued stocks for 2016

19 Dividend Stocks With A Cash Return Yield Over 10%
Dividends and share buybacks help increase value for people holding a stock, and there's a lot of money to be had as companies shovel record amounts of cash back to shareholders.
We recognize activist investors often agitate for firms to return excess cash to shareholders via buybacks. However, while repurchases may lift share prices in the near term, they are a questionable use of cash at the current time when the median S&P 500 multiple is so high. In our view, acquisitions – particularly in the form of stock deals – represent a more compelling strategic use of cash than buybacks given the current stretched valuation of US equities.
I've compiled a list of the top 19 stocks, all with a total cash return yield of more than 10%. Below include how much of the return is from dividends or buybacks. You'll also find a comment about cash returns from company executives on the during their latest quarterly earnings call.

7 Good Running Companies That May Pay A Dividend For The First Time
Those activities make only sense
whey they have a stable running and continuous growing business like McDonalds
or Coca Cola.
The second reason
why a corporate pays no dividend is because they do not earn money and make
losses. That's a really bad issue and I can tell you that it doesn't make sense
to put money into a loss-generating machine.
Back to the topic
of this article, today I like to introduce 7 stocks with a forward-orientated business that did not pay dividends buy may do it in the near future. It's always great to see what kind of stocks may appear on your dividend radar before others might see it.
Don't look to critical at the P/E valuation. The Enterprise Value gives a more fair view of the stocks. Most of them sit on tons of cash. I've written also a good article about stocks with the biggest cash accounts abroad. GE was on the first place there.

The 30 Top Positions Of George Soros's Quantum Fund Investment Portfolio As Of Q2/2012
George Soros is the founder of Soros Fund Management.
In 1970 he co-founded the Quantum Fund with Jim Rogers and Christoper Ink,
which created the bulk of the Soros fortune. Legendary was his currency
speculation against the British Bank of England:
On September 16, 1992, Soros's fund sold short more
than USD 10 billion worth of pounds sterling, profiting from the Bank of England's
reluctance to either raise its interest rates to levels comparable to those of
other European Exchange Rate Mechanism countries or to float its currency. Finally,
the Bank of England withdrew the currency from the European Exchange Rate
Mechanism, devaluing the pound sterling. Soros earned an estimated worth of USD
1.1 billion in the process. He was dubbed "the man who broke the Bank of
England." UK Treasury estimated the total costs of Black Wednesday at GBP 3.4
billion in 1997.
Here is a top 30 list of his investment positions as
of June 30, 2012. Soros Fund Management LLC was valued at $3.8 billion. Top New

quarter George Soros had 151 total positions, 29 less than the quarter before.
