Summary of Recent Buys - Week of January 25, 2016

My weekly summary of buys from around the blogging community for the week of January 25, 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: 

Canadian Banks again are the winners this week, with some other solid names coming in just behind.

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.


This weeks totals:
 

						This Week		Change From Last Week
Total Stock Purchases						36		-11
Unique Tickers Purchased						31		2
Different Bloggers making Purchases						17		-9
Total Cost Of Purchases						$22,478		-16533
Increase in Dividends						$1,309		-290
Yield on Purchases						5.8%		1.72%
