These are a few ideas for the upcoming week. They're in no particular order but they are the companies I'll be investing in as funds become available in my accounts. They're each showing a nice estimated one year return on investment, 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 of the stock.

In addition to investing for dividend growth and stock appreciation, this week I also intend to swing trade Whole Foods Market. It has recently fallen into the $28 range which is a good entry point for me. More information on this idea can be found at "Swing Trading Whole Foods".

    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.
