Warren Buffett&s;s portfolio of stocks at Berkshire Hathaway has always contained a good number of insurance stocks. He likes them, always has.

Omaha&s;s most-famous investor started with his purchase of National Indemnity Company way back in 1967 and has continued since then with famous old names like GEICO and General Re, among many others.

If we imitate his methods, could we find success?

There&s;s no telling, but… one of the first steps in finding value is to see if the stock is trading at a low price/earnings ratio and if it can be purchased at a discount to book value.

Here are four insurance stocks that may fit as the type of value situation sought under the Buffett-like criteria he learned from Benjamin Graham:

&l;strong&g;AEGON N.V.&l;/strong&g; is a life insurance company based in the Netherlands and which trades on the New York Stock Exchange. With a price/earnings ratio of 5.4 and now priced at half its book value, it definitely looks like a value stock. The concern would be debt: There&s;s more of that than equity.

  • [By Ethan Ryder]

    Jazz Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:JAZZ) was downgraded by analysts at Zacks Investment Research from a hold rating to a sell rating. According to Zacks, “Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ sleep disorder drug, Xyrem, has witnessed improved volume trends so far in 2018, sales were  disappointing in 2017. Notably, Xyrem generates majority of sales, and consequently any setback is likely to hamper Jazz’s top-line. Moreover, Jazz has been facing supply crunch for its leukemia drug, Erwinaze, owing to constrained manufacturing capacity. These supply challenges are expected to continue in 2019. Meanwhile, its newest drug Vyxeos performed below expectations leading Jazz to lower its full-year outlook. However, management seems confident that Xyrem will continue to generate volume growth in future quarters. The company’s lead pipeline candidate solriamfetol complements its existing sleep disorder portfolio. Estimates movement remianed mixed ahead of Q4 earnings. Jazz has a positive record of earnings surprises in the recent quarters.”

Top Tech Stocks To Invest In Right Now

We have argued in a previous article that the five titans of technology – Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Google (GOOG, GOOGL), Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) – are basically unstoppable.

In particular, Amazon, Google and Facebook are driven by multiple increasing return feedback loops, which makes their position virtually unassailable, we concluded. We also pointed out some downsides (here and here). These positions are getting on the nerves of some antitrust regulators, more specifically in the European Union.

Antitrust cases used to be simple. Companies had a dominant position, which led to a loss of consumer welfare and/or unfair competitive practices. Both of these were fairly easy to identify. A dominant position can be identified with the help of market share. A loss of consumer welfare or unfair competitive practices are a little harder to demonstrate with iron-clad proof, but usually these involve some price hikes or actions that limit competition or ties in buyers.

Top Tech Stocks To Invest In Right Now: Applied Optoelectronics, Inc.(AAOI)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Anders Bylund]

    There is no doubt in my mind that high-speed network equipment and components will be in high demand for many years to come. That’s why I’m salivating over the rock-bottom prices that some of the best names in the industry are trading for right now. So let’s have a closer look at Finisar (NASDAQ:FNSR), Applied Optoelectronics Inc. (NASDAQ:AAOI), and NeoPhotonics (NYSE:NPTN), all of which have seen share prices sliding at least 20% lower over the last 52 weeks. These are great companies in a high-growth industry with legs that are good for miles and miles, and should be snapped up at these ridiculously low prices.

    Shares of Applied Optoelectronics Inc. (NASDAQ:AAOI) were down 10.3% as of 3:15 p.m. EDT Thursday after an analyst downgraded shares of the fiber-optic networking products specialist.

    Shares of fiber optic networking manufacturer Applied Optoelectronics (NASDAQ:AAOI) fell as much as 25% in late August through early September on tariff worries. Comments from the White House that taxes could be imposed on virtually all goods imported into the U.S. from China sent investors scurrying for the exits, and Wall Street analyst downgrades of some of AOI’s peers didn’t help either. Since the company has operations in China, it could be argued that the political concerns are valid. However, AOI is in good shape, and after another stock price adjustment, shares look like a value play again.
