a good strategy is to look for companies breaking new 52 week highs and then look at the charts.....if the chart looks like it's just starting to break out then might be good.
can find list on www.barchart.com but you have to do a lot of sifting to find price range you like etc.
when a stock is making fresh new highs it's not got a lot of bagholders waiting to dump their shares as much....just don't chase them after they're running
just one strategy of many

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.

There are too many to mention. While the market is up 15% this year, there are still many out there. For instance, i think KBR has a real shot at going to $30 range in the near future

Do not seek investment advice from online. You've seen the advice these people give to folks about their love lives...that's bad enough, keep us out of your wallet.
