7 Highly Rated Stocks on Sale
By Matt Koppenheffer February 27, 2008

Recommendations

I am always looking for a good deal. I buy extra boxes of Cocoa Puffs when they're on sale, and I pounce on undervalued stocks.

The idea that anybody would sell a stock for less than its worth might seem silly, but legendary value investor Ben Graham tells us, by way of allegory, how we can find these situations.

In The Intelligent Investor, Graham introduces readers to a wacky guy named Mr. Market. Mr. Market's game is to pay you house calls every day, and he offers to sell you interests in businesses he owns or to buy from you interests in businesses you own. Sometimes Mr. Market shows up at your door very excited, and offers you premium prices for your holdings. Other times he is inconsolably depressed about the future and will offer to sell you what he has for as low as pennies on the dollar.

So to find some of those stocks that make Mr. Market weepy, I turn once again to The Motley Fool's CAPS investor community. Each of the companies below had been given a five-star rating (the highest) by our community of investors just 30 days ago:

Stock
30-day Return

Data from Motley Fool CAPS as of Feb. 26.
As the table shows, these stocks are all still highly regarded by the CAPS community despite their underperformance over the past month. These are not formal recommendations, but they could be a great place to kick off further research.

Actuate Launches iServer Express to Meet the Report Deployment Needs of Eclipse BIRT Developers
Monday March 3, 7:00 am ET
iServer Express Deploys, Manages, Schedules, Secures, Runs and Shares BIRT and e.Spreadsheet Reports


SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Actuate Corporation (NASDAQ:ACTU - News), the leader in delivering Rich Internet Applications Without Limits™, today announced the launch of Actuate iServer Express, a full-featured report server for both Eclipse BIRT and e.Spreadsheet reports. iServer Express provides the report security, scheduling, management and distribution functionality that application users demand without the complexity of hand-coding. This off-the-shelf alternative retains the flexibility needed to easily integrate these features into any application environment. iServer Express is the latest in a series of Actuate initiatives to support the success of BIRT developers, building on already available resources including BIRT Exchange (http://www.birt-exchange.com), technical support, training and interactive reporting functionality.
iServer Express provides the following key services:


Easy installation: automated report delivery that can be up and running in less than 60 minutes
Security: secures reporting in a way that tailors to application user needs and fits with existing infrastructure
Scheduling and distribution: gives application users the reports they want, when and how they want them without needless burden on IT
Integration: gives developers complete control over the application user experience without sacrificing flexibility
iServer Express is built by an engineering team with 12 years of experience building enterprise-scale deployment services and leading-edge development tools, including BIRT. iServer Express includes a fully-documented Web Services API to replicate any function in any application, as well as a range of URL-based integration options. The product also has built-in security for granting permissions so that each user can only see the data and report components they are authorized to see, application developers can control user access via sheet, row or column-level permissions; and custom-render each report for a particular user. It includes a web-based scheduler, for use by anyone, with event- and time-based scheduling, job notification, parameter setting and a range of other options.

“For the past year, we’ve had a continual dialogue with BIRT users that contributed to an impressive two million plus downloads of BIRT. What we’re hearing is that a certain class of BIRT applications warrants off-the-shelf security and scheduling,” said Rich Guth, vice president and general manager, Java Group at Actuate. “I encourage developers to visit BIRT Exchange to review and download iServer Express for themselves, to evaluate whether the product can enhance their application.”

Visit BIRT Exchange to download a trial version of iServer Express as well as to explore documentation and discussion forums on the topic. Launched in September 2007, BIRT Exchange is already home to approximately 20,000 developers interested in BIRT reporting and spreadsheets in Java. The site is a place to share ideas, technical tips and code as well as a place to explore how to build reporting into applications. BIRT Exchange is now offering a new bi-monthly technical webinar series for Eclipse, BIRT, Java and report developers, the first of which will feature iServer Express (visit http://www.birt-exchange.com/iserverexpress/webinar for more information). This adds another resource to the existing forums, wiki, demos, downloads, documentation, BIRTing Out Loud blog and the popular DevShare portal.

Pricing and Availability

iServer Express is available immediately. A free download is available for trial evaluations. Pricing starts at $150 per user. For more information on iServer Express, please email sales@birt-exchange.com or visit http://www.birt-exchange.com.

It doesn't look like the share price did anything with the announcement of the stock buyback. I would have thought a 50% buyback would have kicked the price in the butt. Anyone know when this buyback is to take place or has it already? tia
