During the uncertain times that we are facing, how do we decide which stocks to invest in? The uncertainties have resulted in some stocks being inexpensive, and you can buy into them at a fairly good price. Buybacks and insider purchases are good indicators. Embarq recently announced a share buyback.

Embarq's board approved a buyback of up to $500 million, representing 7% of the company's outstanding shares. The buyback is to run through June 30, 2009. Apart from the board, CEO Daniel Hesse also seems to be vouching for Embarq's shares -- he bought 5,000 shares of the company in November at an average price of $50.

Embarq, which was created by Sprint-Nextel's spinoff of its local phone operations, said its third-quarter net operating revenues declined marginally to $1.47 billion, while net income fell to $157 million. Revenues of both the telecommunications and logistics units declined. However, the company raised its quarterly dividend 10% to 68.75 cents (yielding 6%), marking the second quarterly hike in less than a year.

The wireline sector has been under pressure from growth in wireless and VoIP systems. Michael Rollins of Citigroup said in a December report that telecom companies were losing residential phone subscribers to VoIP and wireless offerings at a steady rate of 7% to 8% a year. He added that VoIP penetration could rise to 25% in 2010, from 10% in 2006, while the number of wireless-only households is likely to rise to 27% from 13%. In mid-December, JPMorgan upgraded its rating on Embarq to overweight from neutral.

More liabilities than assets. The downgrades are justifiied. Move along to more profitable, better managed financials.
