A Trail of Extraordinary Gains - Chuck Royce Sells 60 Companies
May 21, 2013
Chuck Royce - A Trail Of Extraordinary Gains - Chuck Royce Sells 60 Companies
As of March 31, 2013, billionaire Guru Chuck Royce of Royce & Associates sold out holdings in 60 companies. Royceโ€™s first quarter sells are a study in contrast, with a history of extremely high gains from Sturm, Ruger & Company (RGR) and Lumber Liquidators Holdings Inc. (LL) versus enduring losses from Jakks Pacific Inc. (JAKK), Overland Storage Inc. (OVRL), China Digital TV Holding Co. Ltd. (STV) and Gleacher & Co. Inc. (GLCH). The portfolioโ€™s non-producers were balanced by high-gain holdings like the lumber company Pope Resources LP (POPE) that gained well over 100% in each of six consecutive quarters beginning in the third quarter of 2008, or the always effervescent National Beverage Corporation (FIZZ) that brought Royce 20 quarters of refreshing gains until he sold out his remaining 330,900 shares at $13.87 for a 24.2% gain.
