It's the time of year when many of us like to rewatch "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." Even if you've never seen it, you've probably heard of the Island of Misfit Toys – the destination for defective toys deemed unworthy for people's homes.
Now, this movie is the perfect trading and investing reminder to look for misfit stocks. Generally, these are the ones that aren't selling as well as they had in the past.

The best part is these stocks are easy to spot because they typically sit at or near their 52-week lows.
That means you're looking at the perfect opportunity to pinpoint the ones with the greatest turnaround – and profit – potential.

Unless there really is a Santa Claus, Sears Holdings Corp. is going to seek bankruptcy protection.
It's only a matter of time. And that time is running out, quickly.
