James Glassman of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance offer's the following 10 stocks he believes to be the best buys for the year, based on his conversations with money managers he trusts. In his own words: “For the fourth year in a row, the performance of my annual list of stock picks was -- well, there's no better word for it -- spectacular. And I keep getting better. Most years since 1995 (I took a hiatus for three years), I have offered readers of the Washington Post and now Kiplinger's ten stocks, selected from choices of experts whom I respect. The list for 2006 returned 33%, including reinvested dividends, compared with 16% for Standard & Poor's 500-stock index”

The description box for each stock contains quotes from Glassman himself or the money managers he got the idea from.

  • ATRI
    Atrion Cp
  • $98.50
  • -0.93%
  • $101.20

Recommended by Jay Weinsteen of Oak Forrest Investment Management. As quoted in the article, “He sees Atrion ending 2007 with no debt and $6 a share in earnings. So at current prices you are paying a multiple of 13 times earnings -- puny for a company growing at better than 15% annually.”

  • CCRT
    Compucredit Corp
  • $6.67
  • +11.17%
  • $6.05

Recommended by stock analyst Tom Brown. From the article: “"Earnings growth and profitability have been strong -- and figure to stay that way," writes Brown, but "CompuCredit's stock trades at an extremely low valuation" -- just eight times the $4.60 in earnings per share that Brown expects in 2007”

  • EME
    E M C O R Group I
  • $26.74
  • +1.21%
  • $26.49

Recommended based on the portfolio of Hennessy Cornerstone Growth. According to Glassman: “One of the best is Emcor Group (EME), which designs, operates and maintains sophisticated electrical and mechanical systems for factories, utilities and office buildings. The stock is pricey, but growth is impressive, with profits expected to rise by one-third in 2007.”

  • $100.17

According to Glassman: “Value Line Investment Survey has a great record for picking stocks. As of December 1, only two of the roughly 2,000 stocks that Value Line covers received top ratings for both timeliness and safety: Lockheed Martin and Du Pont. It's a tough choice, but I slightly prefer Lockheed Martin (LMT), the aerospace company”

  • NTLS
    Ntelos Holdings C
  • $25.09
  • -3.13%
  • $25.67

Based on the recommendation of Raymond James telco analyst Ric Prentiss. According to Glassman “sells wireless phone and Internet service to customers in Virginia and West Virginia. Also, Ntelos sells wholesale wireless service to Sprint and, says Prentiss, it should benefit as Sprint moves its newly acquired Nextel customers to the CDMA technology that Ntelos provides”
