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.

Based on my expectation that the markets will continue to move sideways next week (with the potential for the markets to pullback to lower levels before the end of the month), I intend to simply sell short term call options on positions I already own and invest any dividends I receive in income producing stocks until the market pulls back to a more reasonable level. Many of the stocks previously listed in this "Best Ideas" section of this site have already moved significantly higher and I'd just rather wait for better prices before investing in those companies.

The company's current dividend is 8.88%.

    I am an Individual Investor with specific interest in long term growth and then enhancing my returns with income from dividends and derivatives. I don't recommend stocks to anyone (it's a good way to lose friends) and no one reading this should misinterpret my blog as a recommendation for any type of investment. I am writing this solely for myself and my kids.
