As a lot of people know these days that Americans have more junk and stuff to store than ever. Many of the junky things that Americans have come from charging them on their credit cards, and a lot of the things Americans buy are simply junk that will need to be stored at a later date. The crazy part about all this stuff that people who own it own something that usually has no intrinsic value what so ever, and people actually have to pay to store it or maintain it. For this very reason storage units and storage unit business are many times one of the most profitable business ventures that entrepreneurs and businessmen can make; lets not forget investors in that equation either. Some of the best stocks that I think investors can buy right now are actually stocks that have to do with storing and or maintaing.......well junk. This will become more true in my opinion as the economy gets worse, because right now people are buying more junk because they can't afford to buy higher quality goods and services. So, what are some of the storage businesses out there that investors can buy and that might be very profitable?

-EXR Extra Space Storage RentalThe company above seems to be very much undervalued at the time that this article was written with a price to earnings ratio or less than nine and a nice dividend according to yahoofinance. I like Extra space the best because of the fact that they seem so undervalued at the time this was written; however it’s important to look at the competition as well.

-PSA Public StoragePublic storage is defiantly one of the larger institutions in terms of market capital for the storage unit industry. While they are a massive company I don’t like the fact that they have a high price to earnings ratio i.e. their company seems to be way overvalued in the storage industry.

-SSS Sovran Storage Is a good sized storage unit company but still not nearly as large as PSA; the company seems to have a fair stock price as of the date of this article. They have storage units in a mass quantity all over the U.S. just like the other storage unit companies.

-YSI U Store It Trust The U-Store-It-Trust company is my least favorite out of all of them next to PSA. The reason why I don’t like this company is only do they seem to have bad earnings in my opinion. They being the smallest one of the companies talked about, have the largest potential to grow in the future if the company conducts business correctly. All in all I think that the storage unit industry will go up in value but my bet is on EXR I think that they will do the best in the storage industry.
