Summary of Recent Buys - Week of January 18, 2016

My weekly summary of buys from around the blogging community for the week of January 18, 2015. If you have made purchases this week and do not see them on this list, please let me know and I will add you to my list of sites I monitor for buy posts. 

Summary: 


This weeks numbers are slightly down although the total cost of purchases is still quite high. With the market taking a dive, it is good to see everyone sticking to their plan and continuing to invest. I posted on twitter a few times lately about this chart 57 on stockCharts (see Link). This shows what she calls the "best market timing indicator" and I believe it. Long term, it looks like we are still in sell territory so I will be cautious to buy over the coming months.

UNP, ADM, CMI, JNJ, and MMM all had 2 buys each this week. All are household names, especially in the dividend growth investing space.


This weeks totals:

						This Week		Change From Last Week
Total Stock Purchases						41		-6
Unique Tickers Purchased						35		6
Different Bloggers making Purchases						18		-8
Total Cost Of Purchases						$36,868		-2143
Increase in Dividends						$1,375		-224
Yield on Purchases						3.7%		-0.37%

I have charted the weekly S&P % Return vs Amount of Money invested in the market for that week.
