Summary of Recent Buys - Week of May 23, 2016

My weekly summary of buys from around the blogging community. 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 week we see some familiar names like TGT with several buys but also a well known name that hasn't been popular recently: ABT. I attached the fast graph for ABT below. Overall the amount invested last week was down significantly but about the average over a long period. Last week was a pretty large amount though so this isnt surprising.
