3 Top Value Stocks to Buy in January

The so-called Santa Claus rally just happened, capping off a great year for investors and bringing the 2019 calendar year return for the S&P 500 up to 30%. Huzzah!

But not so fast. If one is to apply Warren Buffett's "fearful when others are greedy" principle, now's the time to take a hard look at the portfolio and make some decisions. After all, stocks don't go straight up all the time. However, selling out and going to cash isn't the best of plans, either. Rather, balancing your biggest winners with some value stocks -- especially those that pay dividends -- can be a better alternative to market timing.

With a new year and decade upon us, here's why I have my eye on buying (or buying more of) Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX), Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA), and Seagate Technology (NASDAQ: STX).
