Re: $20k to invest
Check ANLY on NASDAQ, Its seriously under valued due to tax selling right now and will rebound from $2.3 to around $3.5 by May
Take a look at MRI maker FONAR an well. They are sitting at ~$0.78 and are very under valued considering the strength of their product. They will rebound to at least $1.10 and theres also a very good chance of a takeover by GE. Unfortunately the weakness of FONARS stock prices adds a complexity due to the possibility of delisting from NASDAQ.
If you are interested in Canadian equities look at Enerflex systems, NQL Drilling or Saskatchewan Wheat Pool. All of them offer serious value.
