Companies that are booming and producing record profits are watching their shares sold off as risk-adverse investors try to lock in any profit they can make. Maybe they figure the good times won't last. Who knows? All I know is that I can take advantage of the irrationality by scooping up shares of undervalued companies.

Why is it that when I think of oil giant ExxonMobil (XOM), all I can see is the tanker Valdez sinking in Prince William Sound and creating one of the greatest ecological disasters on record? Is this perhaps a premonition of what will become of ExxonMobil in the future? Unfortunately, I think so.

Broadcom (BRCM) Takes a Bruising

Earnings season is always a difficult time to invest, but this one seems to have been harder than most. Companies that have hit earnings homeruns have gotten punished, while the ones that deserve to strike out, have seen their shares rally. And sometimes a good company's stock gets so beaten up it simply defies logic.

Deckers Outdoor (DECK) Still Has Big Shoes to Fill

By Jamie Dlugosch, InvestorPlace Writer

A few years back, I made Deckers Outdoor (DECK) one of my top portfolio selections. Back then, we were buying at below $30 a share. With a little help from an Oprah Winfrey endorsement of its furry little boot, DECK stock took off. By the end of 2007, shares crossed the $160 mark. But that was then and this is now...
