Insider Monkey’s monthly activist newsletter is approaching its third anniversary. Our stock picks generated a total return of 87% vs. 47.7% for the S&P 500 Index ETF.
Today, I am going to share a free stock pick to illustrate how we are able to beat the market by nearly 40 percentage points.
My name is Inan Dogan and I am Insider Monkey’s research director. I have a Ph.D. in financial economics. I have been tracking the moves of corporate insiders and hedge funds for 20 years to identify the best ideas of these market insiders.
Aggregate earnings of S&P 500 companies for the first 3 quarters of 2019 have been declining in comparison to the first 3 quarters of 2018. S&P 500’s forward PE expanded from 14 to 19 in 2019 mostly because Federal Reserve pushed the interest rates down, giving investors no alternatives but the stock market.
Today income investors are buying utility ETFs at a forward PE ratio of 22. This is madness.
Most bullish mainstream analysts don’t expect the markets appreciate by more than 10% in 2020.
And that’s only if S&P 500 earnings grow by 10% as expected.
You don’t have to pay 19 times earnings for a 10% return on the S&P or 22 times earnings for a 4% dividend yield.
Below, I will share a brand new idea that trades for less than 7 times earnings and has an 11% dividend yield.
We published this stock idea in the new issue of our monthly newsletter, and we will share it with the rest of the investment world later this week.
Last month, I [shared the name of the cheapest stock I came across in the last 10 years](. When I discovered Adams Energy (AE) its market cap was only $132 million and its annual operating cash flow was $21 million. It was extremely cheap because it had no debt and $130 million in cash.
Basically you could have bought this entire company for $2 million net of cash.
Adams Energy shares gained slightly more than 10% since our write-up, but the stock is still extremely cheap and yield 2.75%.
If you are in the market for a much bigger dividend yield, please continue reading.
Again, this is a free stock pick.

We love investing in stocks with hidden assets.
Today, we are going to recommend a micro-cap Israeli software company that serves smaller telecom companies around the world. Its business generated $18 million in annual revenues in each of 2016, 2017, and 2018.
Things are looking up in 2019 as its recent investments are bearing fruit. Its newly acquired German messaging group already contributed $4 million to its revenues in the last 2 quarters. So, its revenue growth in its latest quarterly report was more than 30%.
This company generated a net income of around $5 million in each of 2016, 2017, and 2018. This year the company is also on track to generate $5-6 million in net income as well.
Best of all, it has a net cash position of $14 million.
If you have $48 million, you can buy this entire company and immediately get back $14 million of your money back. Basically you are paying $34 million for a business that has been generating $5 million in earnings annually and that’s on the cusp of achieving higher earnings going forward.
Since this company has a lot of cash in the bank, every year it pays a once-a-year dividend which equals to the company’s EBITDA plus financial income from $14 million in cash minus taxes.
This means its dividend yield is around 11% and it is pretty safe.
The stock I am talking about is MIND CTI (MNDO).
Instead of investing in long-term Treasury bonds that yield 1.6% or bank deposits that yield slightly more, I bought MNDO shares for my personal account.
You can find my detailed write-up about this stock in the latest issue of our monthly activist newsletter.
The stock picks we shared in the monthly newsletter returned 87% in less 3 years and beat the S&P 500 Index funds by nearly 40 percentage points simply because we were able to identify deeply undervalued stocks that were safe to buy.
