McDonalds will go up because they are paying $1.11 over the share price when they spin off their Chipotle.
And I agree with the above answer. Energy stocks have been falling with the gas prices, but they just finished what is probably a record earnings quarter, and will be announcing that and dividends now that 3rd quarter has ended.

If you are asking that question in this forum, you are obviously a naive investor. You should avoid buying individual stocks and put your money in a no-load mutual fund.
The fact is that if anyone knew of a stock that was undervalued, they would buy it & that would bid up the price, making it less likely to be undervalued for later investors.
Academic studies show that new information gets imbedded in prices almost immediately. This means that if someone tells you here that there is good news for a company, then that good news is already priced in.
The only way to beat the market on a regular basis is to have private information. There are three ways to get private information. One is to have insider information (which is usually illegal to use in trading). One way is to pay for it -- taking away the advantage. The third way is to gather up all public information on your own & glean information from it -- leading you to realize the private information that causes the public information. In other words -- use fundamental analysis. Since there are other people doing this analysis on big firms -- the payoff isn't going to be high, since they will probably get the information before you.
All of this means that profits can be made in smaller firms where no analyst is covering the company. You can be the first to learn what the public information means. Unfortunately, doing this involves a skill and knowledge that most people don't possess. And it is certainly a knowledge that you aren't going to learn asking here.
No load mutual funds are your best bet.

Apple (APPL) the new Ipods once again will cause a rise in the stock of about 4- 5 dollars.
Build-a-Bear (BBW) it is always popular with the kids- ( the animals)
exxon mobil (XOM)- with the price of oil still droping gas prices are droping which means more oil and gas can be purchased for less money.

I believe that the oil / energy stocks will, b/c they have been "low" for too long now. Their higher prices may not last for long with the election coming up, but there may still be money in them.

Who are you asking? What are their qualifications? Why do you think anyone would know the answer to this? (and if they did, they'd be making the trade now... not answering you on Yahoo).
