For example, Intel dropped along with the market this year but the company is doing just fine. I recently bought some as I thought it was selling at discount. You can also look at a stock that pays a higher dividend than usual. If there is no reason related to the company, you may have found a discounted stock. @Mike,

There are a lot of investors who end up selling out of equities at their lows because they can't take the ups and downs of the market, when they should have understood that going in.
