    Mar 17, 2012 1:42 PM | about stocks: HPQ
    The practice portfolio, as covered on this article, is now up 35.6%, from 29.38% on December 13. The Nasdaq is up roughtly 20% in that time period, compared to the 6% increase in this portfolio.

    Breitburn (BBEP) was sold out completely. This position was a copy from Seth Klarman's buy. Klarman sold out by December 31 2011.

    Pimco's Total Return ETF was a new position (TRXT). The weighting on HP was increased. Again, HP is a Baupost long thesis.
