50% in 3 stocks !!!!


David Einhorn has almost 50 % of his portfolio in 3 stocks:

MSFT-Microsoft                                  (technology)
TGT-Target corp                                (retail)
AMP-Ameriprise financial                    (financial)

and another 10% of his portfolio in 2 stocks:

MIM-MI Developments                        (properties)
HMA-Health Management Associates     (healthcare)

It makes 60% of all assets in 5 companies!

He needs to understand why the opportunity exists and believe he has a sizable analytical edge over the person on the other side of the trade.
 

What kind of edge does he have over the crowd of financial analysts that are following Microsoft?
Surprised

Re: David Einhorn

You are wrong in that you are only looking at their U.S. positions, which are just under 60% of the portfolio. The portfolio is still pretty concentrated but less than you think based on the U.S. filings alone.

if you click on the link above last but one statement is: MSFT is held by these Gurus

Bruno: If you are right they shouldn't write   % of total managed assets .


Does anybody know what percentage is MSFT % of David Einhorn's total managed assets ?

You need to differentiate

You need to differentiate between Greenlight Capital and Greenlight Re. You find a lot of portfolio data in GLRE filings- do the math :)
