Summary of Recent Buys - Week of May 9, 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: 

There was a nice resurgence of  buys this week as I found 42 buys (and a couple sells) from fellow bloggers. Quite a variety again as there were 36 unique tickers purchased. AAPL was the big mover this week and I suspect it may be again as Berkshire Hathaway just reported his holdings of AAPL are HUGE (9.81 Million shares Link Here).
