 | 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.

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. |
