Summary of Recent Buys - Week of July 19

My summary of buys around the blogging community for the week of July 19, 2015. I cross referenced my data with A Frugal Family's Journey's page about Collection of Recent Buys. They provide a link to the individual posts as well as the amount invested. I  stuck with shares purchased this week but I may start to include the amount invested in future posts.

Summary:

With the market experiencing a bit of a pullback this week, it seems every blogger was eager to buy. This week there was a total of 44 buys from 19 different bloggers.

OHI was the hot stock this week with 4 bloggers posting buys. Even though the stock price was up this week, it still boasts a nice 6% initial dividend yield.

CAT was close behind with 3 buys. The stock took a hit this week dropping from $83 to $76 which gives it a nice 4% initial dividend yield. Earnings this week were found to be disappointing as revenue came in just under estimates. In this market, it seems you need to beat estimates substantially in order to not affect stock price negatively.
