Earlier in the week, before the recent market correction, I made a few buys in the Barchart Van Meerten New High Portfolio. The additions were Equity Residential (NYSE:EQR), Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NYSE:NTT). They have moved a little since then but I think they are still sound.
