The current financial downturn has caused consternation for many investors. However, it does have a good side - it has provided access to stocks that have been overvalued for some time. Below are several stocks that I previously rated weak or avoid (0-3 Stars), but are now in the buy zone based on their current share price (as of 10/20/2008 close):

Keep in mind, there are a lot of stocks out there that are still overvalued. If the downturn continues, we may gain access to them. As always, you should do your own research and reach your own conclusion before buying or selling any security.
