10 Best Warren Buffett Stocks To Buy Right Now

Ben Graham said: “Investment is most intelligent when it is most businesslike.” These are the nine most important words ever written about investing.

–Warren Buffett

If you were asked to name the most successful investors of the past century, the following names would probably be on your short list: Ben Graham, Warren Buffett, Seth Klarman,  John Templeton, Joel Greenblatt, and Peter Lynch. All these people share something in common — they practice value investing.

What is value investing?

What Value Investing is Not

First, let me emphasize what it is not. It does not involve trading where one believes in the ability to predict a stock’s short-term price movements. Yet it also does not involve index investing where one believes in the efficient market hypothesis and the inability to beat the market. It is not throwing caution to the winds and gambling your entire net worth on a “can’t miss” investment.  It is not buying an exciting “story stock” in a high-growth industry. And it certainly is not chart reading and buying a stock simply because its price is going up. Rather, value investing could be considered the exact opposite of all of these things.

The Company�� suite of Apache software delivers power analysis and optimization pl! atforms a! long with integrated methodologies that provide capabilities for managing the power budget, power delivery integrity, and power-induced noise in an electronic design, from initial prototyping to system sign-off. These solutions deliver correlation to silicon measurement, and the capacity to handle an entire electronic system, including IC, package, and PCB.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Northrop Puckett]

  The company is facing headwinds in the broader economy. This can be seen in declining sales in many areas of their business. Regionally, the U.S was flat; Northern Europe was up; Southern Europe was down; and emerging markets were down. Autodesk also lowered quarterly and yearly revenue expectations. This lowering of guidance by Autodesk also matches the same guidance changes made by competitors Parametric Technology (PMTC) and ANSYS (ANSS), so it is not necessarily losing out to its rivals in this case.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Asit Sharma]

  Diebold (NYSE: DBD  ) , the transaction and security firm that most of us know for its ATM technology, owns a magnificent, shareholder-friendly streak, having increased its dividend annually for the last 60 years. That's a current record among U.S. equities. The company's dividend also yields an attractive 3.9%.

  North Canton, Ohio-based Diebold (NYSE: DBD  ) has a new CEO.

  On Thursday, the manufacturer of "ATM" machines announced it has named Andy W. Mattes as the company's new president and chief executive officer. Mattes was chosen after a four-month search, and plucked from a position as senior vice president for global strategic partnerships at flash memory maker Violin Memory. He is keeping an advisory role at Violin, even as he takes over the top job at Diebold.

• [By Mark Morelli]

  How will the potential disruption impact business and affect investors? Should the executives at ATM manufacturers such as Diebold (NYSE: DBD  ) �be worried? Credit�and debit card processors like MasterCard (NYSE: MA  ) and Visa (NYSE: V  ) �are already benefiting from the trend to a cashless society. Could things get even better?

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Tyler Crowe]

  Potential market slowdown?
  U.S. production has had a pretty good run over the past 18 months, but there may be some signals that the run could end. Brent crude prices are below $100 for the first time in almost a year, and WTI, the American benchmark, is below $90. Core Laborotories (NYSE: CLB  ) CEO David Demshur recently stated that his company expects a large pullback in U.S. oil exploration if U.S. crude prices were to remain below $90 for a sustained amount of time. Core believes that the rate of return on plays that are outside the sweet spot of the best plays in the U.S. is just not worth it if prices remain that low. If this prediction were to come true, this could deal another blow to Nabors. A slowdown in production would be seen in companies such as Nabors before almost any other part of the oil industry.�

  Ensco PLC (ESV) owns and operates shallow water and ultra-deepwater rigs, located in many parts of the world.

  Two new drilling rigs are ready to begin multi-year contracts with major international oil companies. Six more rigs are under construction.

• [By Lee Jackson]

  Ensco PLC (NYSE: ESV) last year took delivery of ENSCO 121, the second of four ultra-premium harsh environment jackup rigs in its ENSCO 120 Series. ENSCO 121 is an enhanced version of Keppel’s proprietary KFELS Super A Class design. The rig has been contracted in the North Sea at a day rate of approximately $230,000. Shareholders are paid an outstanding 6.2% dividend. The consensus target is $55.53. Ensco closed Thursday at $50.32. Trading close to a 52-week low, with poor sentiment toward drillers, this may be an outstanding stock to buy now with such an outstanding dividend cushion.

  Or there's Ensco (NYSE: ESV  ) , owner of the world's second-largest drilling fleet, which earlier this week reported a surprisingly high 20% year-over-year growth in earnings. That's what happens when dayrates climb by 15%. Despite that, the company's forward P/E sits near a paltry 7.4 times. That, despite a forward indicted dividend yield of 3.60%.
