Orchids Paper Products Co., $29.08, symbol TIS on New York (Shares outstanding: 10.3 million; Market cap: $298.2 million; www.orchidspaper.com), makes a variety of private label tissue products, including paper towels, napkins and bathroom tissue. It mainly sells these items through small discount retailers and dollar store chains (Dollar General is its largest customer). Other buyers include companies in the janitorial and restaurant industries and other paper-product makers. Orchids focuses on markets within 500 miles of its main plant in Oklahoma. That keeps its delivery costs low and helps it compete in what is a very price-sensitive market. Through an alliance with a Mexican tissue maker, it also distributes products in the western U.S. The company is now building a second plant in South Carolina. This $127-million facility should start up in early 2016. Orchids recently sold 1.5 million shares at $23.00 each to raise $34.5 million to help pay for the plant’s construction....
Today, we look at Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., the largest tire maker in the world. Goodyear has recently seen its revenue fall as the strong U.S. dollar has cut into the value of its sales outside of the U.S. However, the company expects earnings to rise over the next year and beyond as cost cuts in Europe and lower costs for materials such as oil and rubber take effect. In addition, a new $550-million plant in Mexico that will make tires for the growing high-performance tire market will add revenue starting in 2017. With a price to earnings ratio of 11.2, Goodyear’s stock is inexpensive. We recommend Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. as a value stock to buy.

Speculative stocks are always a risk, understanding the nature of those risks is key
In the 18th century, pioneering economist Adam Smith said that the public tends to overvalue “speculative ventures”. We think this makes excellent investing advice for present day investors in speculative stocks.
When a speculative stock is losing money, it has a great deal of freedom to ponder on its future. With a little imagination, it can always show that anything’s possible, based on a logical series of events that it says will take place as it advances inevitably toward profitability. Meanwhile, it doesn’t need to worry that its price-to-earnings or p/e ratio is too high, since it doesn’t have one—it has no “e”.
