How to use buying in a sentence?

1. Mandy Xu:

   People are overwhelmingly buying protection or placing bearish bets.

2. Steven Spencer:

   There is no reason we should have been able to buy Facebook down at $73 or Apple down at $92. People had margin calls and were getting hit out at whatever prices they could get, we were buying a lot of blue chip names, down 5 to 10 percent.

3. Ben Stanton:

4. Gary Greenberg:

   If I were them I would allow the selling to take place over an extended time period (9 to 12 months), if Beijing announced the ban on selling was to be lifted and it resulted in a dramatic plunge in share prices, it would represent a buying opportunity we’d take, because the share prices would temporarily be artificially depressed.

5. Liam Condon:

   The experience has been in all industries (involved in litigation), these things always get solved, there has been a significant overreaction there and it's a great buying opportunity. It's almost like buy one, get one free.
