This portfolio consists of stocks in the news lately because there has been a significant insider purchase or stock buyback. In both cases, we think it's important to take a closer look at those particular stocks.

Here are 10.

    Lowe's Companies
  • $20.59
  • 0.00%
  • $20.08

The Mooresville, N.C.-based home-improvement retailer recently announced an additional $3 billion dollar stock buyback which takes its buyback program to almost $3.8 billion. The company has repurchased $4.2 billion of its shares since 2004. Earlier in the week, the company announced Q1 results that came in below expectations mainly due to weak housing and poor weather. However, CEO Robert Niblock said Friday that the company maintains its financial outlook for 2007. The key of course is that housing stabilizes by the end of 2007. On top of the buyback program, the company also recently increased its dividend by 60%. These are both positives when looking at acquiring the stock not to mention that one would have to believe much of the housing market softness has been priced into the stock. So we have a buyback, an increased dividend, a reaffirmed 2007 outlook with 2 well known investors in the stock. This is a stock worth considering.
