Wednesday, November 28, 2012, 12:36 PM Jefferies is making a bullish call on TiVo (TIVO +2.1%) ahead of today's FQ3 report. The firm is encouraged by TiVo's strong momentum with U.S. cable providers, most recently evidenced by its deal with Cable ONE, and noted Virgin Media (VMED) added 206K TiVo subs in Q3. Should TiVo get a $1B-$2B settlement from Motorola Mobility, Jefferies believes shares are worth $15-$20 on a sum-of-the-parts basis, even if one excludes TiVo's core DVR business. Comment!

Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 5:50 PM Paul Tudor Jones made some big bets on tech in Q3. He picked up over 93K shares of Apple (AAPL), 100K shares of Facebook (FB), 150K shares of Groupon (GRPN), and nearly 250K shares of Zynga (ZNGA). The Groupon and Zynga positions can't be faring well, assuming Tudor Jones held on. He also bailed out of a 293K-share position in Virgin Media (VMED). (13F) 8 Comments [Tech]
