During the past week, only two gurus made changes to their portfolios that were documented by GuruFocus’ Real Time Picks, although there were several gurus that reported their second quarter portfolio updates including Brian Rogers, Ken Fisher, the Yacktman Fund and the Yacktman Focused Fund.
The “Real Time Picks” reports the stock purchases and sells that Gurus have made within the prior two weeks. If a Guru makes a purchase or sell of a company in which they owns a greater-than 5% stake, SEC regulations require them to report their transaction within two days. Steven Cohen and Mario Gabelli both reported real time stock picks over the past week.
