Boise Cascade is promising, undervalued housing play, Barron's says

  

      Boise Cascade is a promising and undervalued way to play a housing

recovery, Barron's contends in its "Sizing Up Small Caps" column. A share

catalysts that could drive the stock higher, the paper adds.

T-Mobile looks good, Barron's says 

  

      Even if the Sprint (S) deal doesn't happen, T-Mobile (TMUS) shares look

good, due to the company's no-contract wireless plans being favored by consumers

Valeant may not be as attractive, Barron's says

  

      Valeant's high leverage and worsening valuation, when you take its debt

argues in its "The Trader" column. Investors should not focus on the adjusted

figures while ignoring the company's GAAP figures, the paper adds.
