Although I wouldn't put 25% in any stock, my safe pick is WRLD, a far from glamorous stock in a business that you probably don't want to brag about at your next cocktail party. Just my kind of stock ;>)
Tomorrow I will post my swing-for-the-fences stock, as it is thinly traded and I want to take a position first.

Here's my current Graham FV calculation, using FY05 consensus from two analysts of $1.69, up recently from $1.65. I also ratcheted back the estimated growth rate to 14% just to be slightly conservative:
