This week there was a total of 37 buys of 30 different stocks from 12 different bloggers.A total of $26,242 was invested in stocks this week.
EMR was the hot stock YET again this week with 4 bloggers posting buys. KMI came in a close second place with 3 buys. KMI has been on a steady decline since April but news last week from Goldman Sachs reiterated a Buy rating and a price target of $48. KMI also has a current yield of near 6% at this price, so that also brings attention to Dividend bloggers.
This week, I have started documenting and reporting the summary slightly differently to hopefully add more detail and provide a better summary.
Here is the summary of stocks, amount invested, and which blogger posted the buy.

Which of these stocks are you looking to buy next week? Any surprises in this list?
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.

Glad I could contribute R2R and thanks for your thoughts! I think the change I made to showing the amount invested instead of number of shares was originally your idea! I like it a lot better as it tends not to mislead!
DeleteAdam, excellent summary. It's astounding how much we invest as a group. It's not surprising that EMR and KMI are in the top if the list.
ReplyDeleteThanks for maintaining this. I know it is a lot if work.

Thanks for sharing. Always nice to see where others are putting their money. EMR looks pretty popular and for good reason. I just added to my RY this week. The Canadian banks continue to get beaten down.
ReplyDeleteI am seeing quite a bit of Canadian banks this week as well. They are looking quite tempting. Although with yesterday's drop, everything is starting to look better and better! Thanks for stopping in and saying hi.
