It’s intersting to see CRM Holdings popping up as one of the cheapest stocks in the USA. Manual of Ideas founder, John Mihaljevic has initiated a substantial position in this well-beaten down insurer, see here.

Off-hand, Constellation Energy Partners is another stock that simply looks so beaten down, that there’s a huge margin of safety in the stock.

There’s also a few oddball companies in there like Gallery of History (who would have thought you could make a business selling historical artifacts) and Impreso Inc. (they sell print supplies, bottle their own drinking water and maintain an online portal; interesting synergies).

When I get a chance, I’m going to go through a few of the more promising candidates and see can I find a few deeply discounted stocks, that have show upside potential.
