Investors are worried about the conclusion of the Federal Reserve's QE2 bond-buying program, a possible debt-ceiling breach and a recent soft patch of economic data. But, yesterday, as consumer confidence dropped 9% month-over-month to a six-month low and the Case-Shiller Home Price Index fell to a fresh bottom, the S&P 500 rallied.

10 Value Stocks to Watch Toll Brothers TOL, Ashland ASH, Big Lots BIG and AbitibiBowater ABH are among 10 stocks across diverse industry verticals from the midcap sector with potential upsides according to analysts' consensus estimate polled by Bloomberg.
