 | Here's a few ideas for next week. While I still think the market will continue to move sideways in the near term, the following companies show promise for a nice future total return. These are the companies I'll be investing in as funds become available in my accounts. They're each showing a nice estimated 1yr ROI, increasing earnings, and pay at least a minimal dividend. I believe that each of these has a greater potential return than analysts currently expect. As with all investments, I start with small positions and then add to that position over time through dividend reinvestment, the sale of stock options and direct purchases on the open market. |
