 | This is a list of my best ideas for the upcoming week. As new funds are deposited in my accounts, these are the companies I plan to invest in. These ideas are prioritized based on the sum of the delta between the current stock price and the one year estimated target price, and the current dividend yield. As those sums change, so does this list. As I slowly increase the number of companies that I follow, the competition for the top spots continues to become tight. |
