I'd like to be a value investor and buy stocks selling at a discount to their intrinsic value. But I can't find any websites showing the intrinsic value of stocks. Does anybody know a good site that gives this information? Thanks very much.

The Wall Street Journal, Businessweek, and CNN Money quotes can give the book value of the stock and such ratios as price to book or price to sales values etc.

The Book value is the most literal 'intrinsic value' one can get on a financial site. There are some reasons why that is a bit weak for some types of stocks. However, that statistic can be found about anywhere....yahoo finance, cnn, forbes, bloomberg...etc.
Sometimes it is expressed as book value per share. Then you want to look if book value per share is lower than the share price (overvalued) or over (undervalued. Sometimes it is expressed as price to book. That is book value per share divided by share price. In that case, over 1 is technically overvalued, and under 1 is technically undervalued. However, in this day of high valuations it is very difficult to find stocks that are under 2, much less under 1.

you could always evaluate a company's P/E (Price/Earnings) ratio to see how the market feels about the company. A company with a high P/E is one the marketplace trusts and thus is a stock that will most likely rise in price.
