  • Micro Cap Biotech Stocks Being Accumulated By The World's Largest Money Managers [View article]
    BlackRock, with over $3.5 trillion in AUM runs a full array of fund types, including index funds, and so does Vanguard, with over $1.7 trillion in AUM. However, these do not constitute a significant portion of their portfolios. Refer:

  • Biotech-Focused Baker Bros. $3.7B Fund Bought These 3 Big Winners And Sold Others In Q1 [View article]
    Once again, and for the last time, dates of purchases and sales are not available as they are not required. Only end-of-quarter positions reporting is required, i.e., when a decrease is reported from say Q4 2011 to Q1 2012, the sale could have occurred anytime between January 1st, 2012 and March 31st, 2012.

  • 6 High Growth Undervalued Hardware Stocks Being Accumulated By Smart Money [View article]
    The guru's in these articles are carefully whetted and selected based on their long-term outstanding performance, squarely beating market averages as well as their peers by significant margins. You can selectively look at any slice of their holdings, or time period, committing statistical errors along the way, to reach a conclusion you want to reach. But the guru records stand on their own. We have summarized many of their outstanding records in our prior articles that can be accessed from our author page or by clicking on the relevant hyperlinks in each article. They are summarized here for your benefit, if you wish to avail yourself of that opportunity.

  • Top Undervalued Outperforming Fabless Semiconductor Stock Picks By Mega Funds [View article]
    Good point. That's the reason why we also mention the specific gurus in each stock, and in most cases, when available, hyperlink to a prior article on the guru/fund so that one can determine whose philosophy is more aligned with theirs to make a more informed judgment.

  • Undervalued Semiconductor Manufacturing Stocks Accumulated By Legendary Fund Managers [View article]
    Hi, New Low Observer:
    The stocks listed in the Table are an excerpt, including only the most significant moves in the group, of the full analysis of the entire semiconductor manufacturing group that includes over 50 companies. So if you are adding the table amounts (for the select significant moves), they should rightfully not match the overall numbers for the whole group in the article (para 3).

  • Micro Cap Biotech Stocks Accumulated By The World's Largest Money Managers [View article]
    Hi, Shakazoid: You can definitely do a Boolean search to get the info, but it may not show up until the next 13-F filing. Funds report their 13-F's once a quarter, 45 days after the end of the quarter, and the 13d and 13g filings are required only when they have or are exiting their 5% ownership of the company.

  • Top Undervalued Large-Cap Gold Mining Buys And Sells Of Legendary Fund Managers [View article]
    Venerability: Thanks for your comments, but the part about "Guru" fund managers having a terrible record is not true. In fact, they have among the best "long-term" track records, overall. Retail investors in fact lose money on average, hence the utility of following gurus. And yes, they may get some positions wrong; that is part of the 'game', if you want to play it. But overall, we have hand-picked the gurus to include those that have among the most enviable long-term track records in the industry.

    Whitehawk: That's not true. The ones quoted here, mega fund managers, and in our series on legendary or guru fund managers, have average holding periods stretching into many years.

  • Top Social Media Stock Picks By The World's Largest Fund Managers [View article]
    Hi, David: I see your point. I think it would definitely apply if you were say talking about broader sectors like basic materials, technology, where there would be portfolio allocation targets. However, when you get to the group or sub-group level, and you are also talking about it in the aggregate for all mega funds taken together, I am not sure it would be as contradictory. To me, rather, it illustrates more about money flow towards specific groups/ sub-groups in the market, maybe based on macro or group-level news. In this case, one interpretation could be that the hype around the Facebook IPO is resulting in money flow towards the social media group, and the increased awareness around that in part is maybe pushing funds to allocate money to that group on a more equal-weighted basis.

  • Invesco's High Conviction Q4 Undervalued Buys And Sells In Its $174 Billion 13-F Portfolio [View article]
    A 'bearish bet' would be the fund liquidating a significant portion (by at least 25%-30%) of a significant position in its portfolio, with the assumption being that the sell was motivated by its belief that the upside had played out (or was unlikely to play out, as the case may be) and furthermore that the risks were now to the downside (in its view). Since funds are not required to reveal their short positions, this is the best indication we have of their bearish stance on select equities.

  • Analyzing Monday's Noteworthy Insider Buys And Sells [View article]
    This is my last comment on this: Here are the two links again,
    http://1.usa.gov/wbumoE and
    http://1.usa.gov/wlxXW9 --
    The first one shows the sale on 2/24 of 500,000 shares at $66.6846/share,
    The second one shows the sale on 2/15 of 500,000 shares at $65.9393/share
    Both are actual sales reported on SEC Forms 4, and that is exactly what the article refers to.

    Nulhegan: check facts properly before posting -
    Mr. Stiller filed 144's twice, both in advance of the two sales of 0.5 million shares each mentioned in the article, both of which are hyperlinked above. We are discussing here only selling, as reported on SEC Forms 4, not intent to sell, as reported on 144's.
