Northern Oil & Gas, Inc. (NOG), Aberdeen Chile Fund, Inc. (CH), Intuit Inc. (INTU): Three Stocks Near 52-Week Lows Worth Buying

As we’re seeing with many Chilean companies, things are improving even if the economic data isn’t quite there to support them yet. I’d suggest taking a good look at Aberdeen Chile Fund, Inc. (NYSEMKT:CH) and this ETF if I were you.

TurboTaxed?
Shares of financial management solutions company Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ:INTU) were clobbered in late April, when both it and H&R Block, Inc. (NYSE:HRB) reported processing fewer IRS applications than expected. That didn’t stop Intuit from topping Wall Street’s estimates in the third quarter, though.

For the quarter, Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ:INTU) saw revenue rise 13% as EPS gained 12%. What may have been lacking in tax preparation fees was more than made up by mobile payment solutions domestically, overseas software sales, and the launch of mobile payment solutions software, Quick Pay, for small businesses in the U.K. Even though they were considered “weak” by some people, I think TurboTax sales growth of 4% was still very respectable.

The thing to remember here is the do-it-yourself tax prep market share is Intuit’s to lose. It was the first company to make the transition into DIY-tax preparation while H&R Block was still promoting its bricks-and-mortar stores. With H&R Block, Inc. (NYSE:HRB) At Home still well behind TurboTax in market share — and delivering an untimely glitch for thousands of customers with educational credits this year — H&R Block, Inc. (NYSE:HRB) has done little to help its cause.

With Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ:INTU) pushing its software and mobile payment solutions overseas and losing essentially no ground to H&R Block, I think it represents a solid long term growth candidate here.

Foolish roundup
Today it’s all about life’s certainties like taxes, oil, and the fact that there will always be emerging markets performing better than the United States.

I’m so confident that these three names will bounce off their lows that I’m going to make a CAPScall of outperform on each one.
