Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Will Ashworth]

  Assuming it delivers on its outlook for 2014, its current free cash flow yield is a very enticing 20%. This isn't a growth stock, but its brands still possess hidden value. As cheap stocks go, it's very attractive.

  Cheap Stocks to Buy: Aegon (AEG)

  It's not often that you can buy a $19 billion market cap for under 10 bucks. Aegon's a Dutch insurance company that's had a rough ride over the past few years, and its stock's suffered as a result. In the late ’90s AEG stock traded around $60 — it hasn't been anywhere close since. However, it's got some good assets that should bear fruit in the years to come. Aegon has 12,000 employees in the Americas doing business primarily under the Transamerica brand, which has been a part of AEG since 1999.
