100 Guru Stock Buy List | The Most Bought Stocks

100 most bought stocks by investment professionals originally published on Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. Covering investment professionals does make sense to get inspired. I look at Warren Buffett’s investment choices. Guru stock buys are only one point of hundreds in the selection process of an investment target.

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 also talk about investors like George Soros. They all have one thing in common: The average return beats the market and if they invest, the market follows.

Today I create a screen of the biggest stock buys from 49 super investors over the recent six months and rank them in my 100 best guru buy list. They all combined bought 571 stocks within the recent half year.

The most wanted stock was Berkshire Hathaway. The company was bought by 14 investment professionals over the recent six months. Microsoft and AIG were also very popular with 13 and 12 guru buys.

69 stocks from the list pay dividends and 68 have a buy or better recommendation.

My 5 Favorite Stocks With Dividend Growth Of The Week

During the past Week, 64 companies increased their dividend payments. The biggest stocks are AbbVie, Visa, Halliburton, Energy Transfer Equity and the apparel company V.F. Corporation.

Four stocks from the dividend growers list have a forward P/E of less than 10 and eleven have a dividend yield over 5 percent. Below are my five favorites. You might agree or not.

Most of them are different and they don’t look like real Dividend Aristocrats or Dividend Champions as in the past articles.

My focus for this selection was mainly on Large Cap. I personally have no shares of them and don’t like to buy some in the near future but it’s always good to know what companies have hiked dividends because in five years or so, they could become to a new Dividend Challenger.

Big names on the Buyback side were Pfizer, AbbVie, Canadian National Railway, Parker-Hannfin, Nielsen and CarMax.

In total, 27 stocks announced a new, additional or increased share buyback program. The total buyback volume for the future is over USD 25 billion.

Maybe they know something what you haven’t seen or maybe you get some new ideas about where they are wrong in order to bet against them.

Investment gurus are asset or fund managers with big amounts of cash under management. They became popular by big returns and spectacular investment strategies.

Recently, I made a screen of the 100 most loved stocks from 49 super investors over the recent six month. Now I like to highlight the biggest stock sells from 49 super investors over the recent six months and ranked them in my 100 most guru sells list. They all sold in total 530 different stocks within the past half-year.

The most sold stocks are Microsoft (MSFT), AIG and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B). As you might think, insurers are not very popular. Maybe the long-term perspectives in a low interest environment or the bond bubble make investors anxious.

100 Best Small Cap Stocks To Place Your Money

Small cap stocks with a strong growth and best dividends to buy, originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Everybody loves growth. If you own an investment and it starts to grow by double-digit rates over a few years, when the stock price explode and you feel like a bird in heaven. I felt a few times like this. But it is also necessary that you sell partly your position over the time. I personally reduce my stocks positions when they have doubled or more. Certainly you can’t get very rich with this rule but you hedge your stock gains and believe me by selling stocks with gains, nobody become poor.

I recently viewed a nice list at Forbes. The list was a research result of the 100 best small cap growth stocks in America. Stocks from the table are public and tradeable in America. They all have a total sales volume below the USD 1 billion mark and fantastic years of recent growth. As you can see at the list, the GDP growth is America is still weak but out there are still investment opportunities to discover.

I discovered the ten best dividend stocks from the small cap growth picks. I needed to screen more than 50 companies in order to find ten stocks with positive dividend payments. Most of the small cap growth stocks don’t pay dividends. But the debt situation is very comfortable. Most of them are free of debt and have bigger cash amounts to their balance sheets in order to finance future growth. The average stock grew in sales by 19 percent yearly. Earnings followd by 31 percent growth yearly and the average return on equity amounted to 20 percent. See the full list of the 100 best small cap growth stocks at the end of this post.

100 Top Stocks Bought By Major Investment Gurus

100 most bought stocks by investment professionals originally published on Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. I often take a look at the activities of well-known investment guru’s. Sure, hedge fund managers and activists are active investors who want to change something on the business model in order to push the current stock price. Ackman or Einhorn are such persons. I don’t follow them in detail but they are part of the screening results and due to their big influence, it makes sense to look at what they do.

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 always screen picks from Warren Buffett. He has a solid investment decision process and selects stocks I also like. Sometimes he gives me new ideas about long-term investments or about growth opportunities which I haven’t considered for the time being.  

In order to find the hottest stocks at the investment premier league, 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 combined bought 449 stocks within the past half year.

The top stocks are now Microsoft and AIG International. Microsoft was purchased by 9 stock market professionals and AIG by 8. Exactly 60 percent of the top ten buys have a relationship to the technology sector. Investors still love this field because of the high growth potential and strong cash flows. But technology stocks are no big dividend payer.

I personally follow the activities from Warren Buffett. He is a highly trusted investor with a proven long-term track record. I also look at Carl Ichan’s (estimated net worth of USD 20 billion) stock purchases because he is one younger investor who can replace Warren Buffett's presence one day. 

Both have a different view on the capital market but they are very successful in the way how they act. These two guys are only an example of people who have build a great career on Wall-Street and developed to a top investment guru.
