Farallon Capital: Another Hedge Fund Likes CapitalSource [View article]
Andoverman, you didn't miss anything. The original title of the article is different on our site MarketFolly ("Farallon Fancies Capitalsource").

thanks for the comment. They added to their BRK-A position, so they added the A shares. Then they reduced their position in BRK-B, the B shares. The article should say BRK-B under the "reduced" column. I apologize for any confusion and I'll notify SA to edit this. Thanks.

Hedge Fund Tracking: Tremblant Capital [View article]

hedge fund 13f filings with the SEC only report LONG holdings. so if they added, they added to their long. if they reduced, they sold off some of their long. they are not required to report short positions.
kind of common knowledge regardless though, that when funds in general talk about "holdings" they are referring to their longs.
