I’ve just been shopping for stocks to buy with my IRA contribution, and I thought I’d share some of the stocks I came across.

I screened stocks for low/no long term debt, some dividend (preferably substantial) and a low P/E ratio. What I found:

ALDA: Aldila Golf Co. (club shaft maker)
RAIL: Freight Car America; as well as their competitor ARII: American Railcar Industries (rail car manufacturers)
CHKE: Cherokee Inc. (clothing trademark conglomerate)
FRD: Friedman Industries (steel)
USMO: USA Mobitilty, Inc. (wireles communications)
CAW: CCA Industries, Inc. (skin care products)
MTEX: Mannatech Inc. (nutritional supplements)

Except for the railcar companies (at 0.40-0.50% yield), these companies yield from 2.00% to 3.00% in dividends (with CHKE at 6.80% and USMO at 12.10%). And P/E ratios range from 5 (RAIL)to 15 (USMO).

I bought only the ALDA for its 3.80% dividend and TTM P/E of 8.
