Here's a couple of stock ideas I'm looking at for next week. These are companies I'll consider investing in with any funds that become available in my accounts. I believe each of these has a greater potential return than analysts currently expect. 

​As with all of my investments, I'll start with a small position and then add to that position over time through dividend reinvestment, the sale of stock options and direct purchases on the open market.

    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.
