Description:

In a perfect world we would like to have the maximum amount of return with little or no risk. Of course, to many people that might be a fool's errand. However I believe that we can parse together a portfolio of stocks that will give us excellent potential return, at a cheap valuation with a minimum amount of risk.
So, I proceeded to scan stocks which met two criteria. First, I sought out stocks with historical volatilities which was less than that of the S&P 500 (SPX) over the course of the last year. The one year realized or actual volatility for the S&P 500 is 23.25%. Second I sought out stocks with PEG ratios that were below 1.30. I used 1.30 as a reasonable measure of good value. As you know, stocks with a PEG of below 1 are extremely cheap and those over 2 are too risky or overpriced.
After scanning out the stocks, I eliminated those companies which I believed did not meet my normal fundamental criteria for an investment. What was left were 5 Low Volatility Low PEG Investments.
