Look Who Is Buying!

I just saw some of the purchases of Mr Greenblatt himself as of September 30th. The good news: He is buying pretty much the who's-who from his own lists. The bad news: He has lost a bunch as well. But it is heartening to see him buying. I think it was 156 stocks and he bought the same amount of each. I will say that for Mr Greenblatt that he didn't put THAT much money in: $64m. Here is the list of buys:

Also Warren Buffett bought COP as his big new buy. Probably worth a look, they pay a 4.2% dividend. He also bought Eaton, which ironically was profiled tonight on Mad Money.

Have a great weekend everyone!
