Here's my two cents on BP (BP).
The stock has fallen from 60 to 30 in the past two months, which means some investors are thinking of buying it at a bargain price. But I learned long ago it can be very dangerous to catch a falling knife.
More intelligent is to buy when all is calm, and the stock is simply unloved.
For example, BP was recommended in the Classic Benjamin Graham Value Model in the December 2008 issue at a buy price of 44.31. Eleven months later, BP reached its Minimum Sell Price. Editor Roy Ward recommended that subscribers sell BP on November 19, 2009 at 54.30 for a gain of 34.8%.
Someday, Roy may recommend BP again, but before that happens the company will have to put its legal problems behind it (how many years will that take?), and the stock will have to fade from public consciousness.
In the meantime, Roy is looking at three oil drillers: Transocean (RIG), Ensco (ESV), and Noble (NE). For more information, click here: Cabot Benjamin Graham Value Letter.
