One of our favorite places to look for turnaround candidates is a list of the worst performers in a certain segment of the market. Because investor sentiment can change very rapidly, today�� dogs often become tomorrow�� darlings, and those who are willing to go against the crowd can reap significant profits.
Among the worst performers in the S&P 500 index since the market hit its lows last June are Apple (AAPL), F5 Networks (FFIV), J.C. Penney (JCP) and Monster Beverage (MNST).
To be sure, many of these stocks carry some risk. There are, after all, reasons why they have underperformed.� But the market often overreacts to these risks, and if these companies can fix their problems, their stockholders will be very handsomely rewarded.

The other one was Molson Coors Brewing (TAP).
Oh yeah, again, they��e really cheap. They��e the oldest brewer in North America, and the stock is running about 10-11 times earnings with a very strong balance sheet. If you look at what Heineken is bidding for Asia Pacific Breweries (15-17 times cash flow), Molson looks like a bargain. The company has been innovative in coming out with new products, especially in the craft beer area. Their customer base is mostly unemployed, so that�� kind of the problem. But usually if we can buy a beverage company at 10x earnings, we��e pretty patient. Historically it�� been a pretty good entry point.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Bryan Murphy]
Quick - what do Simon Property Group Inc. (NYSE:SPG), Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Inc. (NYSE:DPS), and Silicon Image, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIMG) have in common? If you said absolutely nothing, you'd be about 99% right. There's one common thing between SIMG, SPG, and DPS right now, however. What's that? All three stocks are on my personal "buy" list this week.
- [By P.I.A.]
Doctor Pepper Snapple Group Inc. (DPS) is a mature business, and a remarkably shareholder friendly one at that. The dividend yield is currently a hefty 3.41%, and the company has bought back 6% of its shares through the past three years. An investor can sensibly look for income and capital appreciation with long-term horizons. The stock goes ex-dividend in the near future, on Sept. 12, and scrutiny is appropriate.
