Best Ideas 27 December 2015

These are a few great ideas for the upcoming week. They are in no particular order but they are the companies that I'll be investing in as funds become available in my accounts. They each are showing a nice estimated one year return on investment, increasing earnings, and pay at least a minimal dividend. I also believe that each one of these has greater potential return than analysts currently expect. As with all investments, I always start with a small position and then add to that position over time through dividend reinvestments and the sale of stock options.
Picture
Note: I continue to rate Gilead Sciences (GILD) and Apple Inc (AAPL) as two of my best ideas because they are uniquely fitted to my investing style of "Buy, Write, Collect". These are fundamentally great companies, they throw off a lot of great dividends, and they are great platforms for the sale of options. I enjoy selling and writing options as well as collecting an increasing dividend from each of these two companies and they both are increasingly adding wealth to my portfolio.

These are a few great ideas for the upcoming week. They are in no particular order but they are the companies that I'll be investing in as funds become available in my accounts. The ideas presented this week are strictly based on their strong technical charts, which is not the normal presentation in this column. I also believe that each one of these has greater potential return than analysts currently expect. As with all investments, I always start with a small position and then add to that position over time through dividend reinvestments and the sale of stock options.

    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.
