Top 5 Low Price Stocks To Watch Right Now

LONDON --�I'm shopping for shares right now, should I pop�Aviva� (LSE: AV  ) (NYSE: AV  ) �into my basket?

Problem play
How do you solve a problem like Aviva? it has been looking like a bargain buy for several years, and I'm not the only Fool dazzled by its low, low price. But now it is beginning to look more than a little shop soiled. Is it really a bargain? And should I buy more now, while it still looks cheap?

Insurer Aviva would try the patience of a saint. I bought it three years ago at around seven times earnings, seduced by its fat yield of nearly 8%. Subsequent share price performance has been dreadful. Aviva is down 6% in the past three years, against a 79% leap for�Prudential� (LSE: PRU  ) (NYSE: PRU  ) and 95% blitz for�Legal and General Group� (LSE: LGEN  ) . That's what you get for over-exposure to the toxic eurozone, and underexposure to booming Asia. Aviva's management cut the yield by 25% in March, further reducing its charms.

  Public companies leveraging their patent portfolios, (aka "patent plays"), are getting the market's attention. Companies such as Vringo (VRNG), ParkerVision (PRKR), MGT Capital (MGT), Worlds Inc. (WDDD.OB) and others have presented trading opportunities due to their volatility while retaining the chance for a big payoff to those investors who stay the course. Yet there exist viable patent plays that are still undiscovered. Some of these so called "plays," which are not getting enough attention, are actually real companies making and selling real products or services in contrast to pure patent monetization companies. Some known examples are Single Touch Interactive (SITO.OB) and Blue Calypso (BCYP.OB). This article is focused on another one of these patent plays, On Track Innovations Ltd. (OTIV).
