The 100 Most Attractive Stocks, Bought By Famous Investment Gurus Between May And October 2012

Stocks With Recent Engagements By Investment Professionals Researched By Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. Investment gurus are asset or fund managers with big amounts of cash under management. They became popular by big returns and spectacular investment strategies. I talk about investors like George Soros and Warren Buffett. They all have one thing in common: The average return beats the market and if they invest, the market follows.

I made a screen of the biggest stock buys from 49 super investors over the recent six month and ranked them in my 100 best guru buy list. They all bought 502 stocks within the past half year. The top stocks are Oracle (ORCL) and Google (GOOG). Google was bought by fourteen investment professionals and Oracle by eleven. ORCL stocks are one of the hot plays for investors because they are in average long in the stock with 0.52 percent of their full portfolio.

The most wanted sector was the technology and financial sector. Sixty percent of the ten biggest buys were made within the technology sector and twenty within the financial sector. Below is a detailed overview of the best yielding dividend stocks that were bought by at least two stock market gurus.

Here are my favorites:
