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 months and ranked them in my 100 Best Guru Buys list. They all bought 502 stocks within the past half of the year. The top stocks are Oracle (ORCL, Financial) and Google (GOOG, Financial). Google was bought by 14 investment professionals and Oracle by 11. ORCL stocks are one of the hot plays for investors because they are, on average, long in the stock with 0.52 percent of their full portfolio.
The most wanted sectors were the technology and financial sectors. Sixty percent of the 10 biggest buys were made within the technology sector and 20 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.
