Serious inclination toward value investments in good companies, but open to good growth opportunities as well. Consult Magic Formula Invest lists for ideas with some frequency, and have done well with selections from that list.

  • AFFX
    Affymetrix
  • $5.64
  • -1.23%
  • $5.78

I like biotech, but worry about the high risk of betting on pipeline drugs. AFFX makes the genetic chips and equipment used by a high proportion of biotech researchers. Attractive price currently.

  • ALVR
    Alvarion Ltd.
  • $3.80
  • +1.33%
  • $3.81

Small cap with solid WiMax products. May get swamped by bigger players (or bought) at some point, but seems to be growing its market in global niches.

  • ARB
    Arbitron Inc
  • $22.94
  • +1.96%
  • $22.54

Bought a year ago, a Magic Formula pick. Like ARB particularly because of its upside growth potential from two new developments, the People Meter system of measuring radio listeners, and the Apollo Project, a breakthrough strategy for market research. As these two new products come on line, ARB's top line should grow fast. At this point it appears that most of the resistance to People Meter (Clear Channel has been fighting it) appears to have died down, and the rollout should begin to gather steam. Know less about Apollo rollout plans.

  • DNB
    The New D&b Corp
  • $81.34
  • +2.56%
  • $79.42

A solid company that was on the Magic Formula list a year ago.

  • HW
    Headwaters Inc
  • $4.71
  • +2.39%
  • $4.68

Another Magic Formula pick. This one in a troubled industry, but HW has excellent prospects for its construction materials and exciting opportunities in both nanotech and synthetic fuels (coal to gas) that are likely to deliver good returns for year.

  • JNJ
    Johnson And Johns

What's not to like. A consistently excellent performer.

  • NKE
    Nike Inc Cl B
  • $65.32

  • SBUX
    Starbucks Corpora
  • $21.10
  • -0.09%
  • $21.12

Stock has slid back some of late and is likely to be somewhat volatile, but this company is far from the end of its growth cycle.
