Top 5 Low Price Stocks For 2014

The price of oil rose above $88 a barrel on Friday as traders cautiously returned to commodity markets following sharp sell-offs this week.

At midday, benchmark crude for May delivery was up 30 cents to $88.30 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Thursday the Nymex contract for West Texas Intermediate rose $1.05 a barrel.

Crude has lost about $9 a barrel since the beginning of the month, as various reports highlighted slower growth in China and still-sluggish growth in the U.S. and elsewhere, while oil supplies remained high.

At the same time investors sold off gold, silver and other commodities, and looked to the stock market for better returns in the long run. The stock market had a volatile week as many of those investors bought and sold shares, looking to consolidate their positions.

Analysts said relatively low prices for oil and a weaker dollar rekindled interest among buyers.

"Crude oil prices rebounded and climbed higher on Friday ... supported by a weaker U.S. dollar and a strong rebound in the global equity markets and increased risk appetite," said a note from Sucden Financial Research in London. A weaker dollar makes crude cheaper -- and a more attractive investment -- for traders using other currencies.

  But first, a little background ...
  Earlier this week, I took some time to explain how shares of Universal Display�rose by 34.1% in 2013. While that was good enough to narrowly exceed the S&P 500's solid 32.4% total return last year,�Universal Display investors endured more than their fair share of volatility in the process, in part a byproduct of the company's chunky revenue stream, which overwhelmingly relied on a twice-per-year, $20 million patent licensing payment from Samsung (NASDAQOTH: SSNLF  ) .
