Mid cap stocks often offer a good balance between safety and potential returns. These stocks have greater liquidity than the small cap stocks and as a result a greater participation from funds of all types. This means that any undervaluation tends to be low and seldom persists.
In this screen I have picked the best investments in mid cap stocks with market values between $0.63 B and $2.31 B. Many of these stocks also offer good dividends for income oriented investor. The screen is primarily for value with earnings growth being a secondary concern. Interested investors should review the stock(s) deeper for more research before allocating any capital to them.
