My weekly summary of buys from around the blogging community.
I currently follow over 85 blogs to get this data!!!
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:
I went back and took a look at all posts over the past two weeks to get this data but last week was a short one due to the holidays so the numbers aren't overly inflated. I have noticed too that it is getting difficult to find information on buy posts from some bloggers. Which is totally cool with me, I just can't include your buys in my summaries because I spend too much time hunting through to get information that I am not sure is entirely correct. DivHut, My Dividend Pipeline, Investment Hunting, and others... all make it very obvious and easy to find. I am not suggesting you need to meet a standard to be listed in my summary, more so that you forgive me if I miss yours or cant find your data.
I just state it as a disclaimer as well that this list for reference and fun, and not attempting to be 100% accurate. I do the best I can to make it accurate to what I find though. Enough soapboxing, where is the data!!!

Consumer staples are still popular these days with UL taking the lead. It looks like there's a lot of pent up demand for this sector as it always seems to be expensive and rarely goes on sale. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHey Keith! Thanks for the continued support! I agree with your assessment. Sub $40, UL is looking quite nice! I havent made any buys for a while. Its on my short list.
DeleteIt's great to see so many buys happening. I think Keith gamed the system last month. He bought UL three times so it would be the most popular buy this month ;-).
ReplyDeleteHaha. I didn't even notice that. Very sneaky of him!
