Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!
Based upon my expectation that the market will continue to pullback next week,
 I intend to sell short term options on positions I alredy own. Otherwise I'll just be enjoying the holidays with friends and family. If by chance an unexpected windfall comes my way, I would simply invest those funds in shares of the Gladstone Companies.
Picture
Gladstone Capital’s debt investments primarily consist of three types of loans to small and medium sized businesses in the US: senior term loans, senior subordinated loans, and junior subordinated loans.  Loans range from $5 million to $30 million with terms of up to seven years.  The company's equity investments typically take the form of preferred or common equity.  Historically the company aims to maintain a portfolio consisting of approximately 90% debt investments and 10% equity investments, at cost. The company's goals are to achieve and grow current income through their debt investments that allow distributions to shareholders to grow over time and provide shareholders with long term appreciation in the value of their assets by investing in equity securities that can grow over time. Gladstone Capital pays a monthly dividend at the end of each month. The company's current dividend is 10.27%.
(Summary) (Company) (Chart)
​

Gladstone Investment makes debt and equity investments in established private businesses in the US. Debt investments primarily come in the form of three types of loans: senior term loans, senior subordinated loans and junior subordinated debt.  Equity investments primarily take the form of preferred or common equity often in connection with buyouts and other recapitalizations.  The company's investments typically range from $5 to $30 million, and aims to maintain an investment allocation of approximately 75% in debt securities and 25% in equity securities. The company's investment objectives are to achieve and grow current income by investing in debt securities of established businesses that they believe will provide stable earnings and cash flow to pay expenses, make principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness and make distributions to stockholders that we anticipate will grow over time and to provide the company's shareholders with long-term capital appreciation in the value of their assets by investing in equity securities of established businesses that they hope will appreciate over time so that we can sell them for capital gains. Gladstone Investment pays a monthly dividend at the end of each month. The company's current dividend is 8.38%.
(Summary) (Company) (Chart)
​

Gladstone Commercial is a real estate investment trust and its typical investment ranges from $5 million to $20 million.  Gladstone Commercial’s portfolio of real estate is leased to a wide cross section of tenants ranging from small businesses to large public companies, many of which are corporations that do not have publicly rated debt.  Gladstone Commercial intends to continue to enter into purchase agreements for real estate with existing triple net leases with terms of approximately 10 to 15 years, with built in rental increases. Gladstone Commercial provides two types of real estate transactions:
  • They purchase real estate already owned by a business and lease it back to them; therefore freeing up their equity in the real estate
  • They buy real estate that is already leased to good tenants
Gladstone Commercial pays a monthly dividend at the end of each month. The company's current dividend is 8.46%.

Here's a few ideas for next week. 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.

**Note: These companies are desirable because of their increasing dividend and not because of their estimated one year total return. As such, they become a lot more desirable at a slightly lower price.

    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.
