Bill Gates…
Wait, what happened to my GuruFocus screen? Oh… I forgot to log in as a premium member and now I am just a unregistered guest.
If you are unregistered guest or a registered but free member, your GuruFocus.com Home page today may look like this:
In other words, you can look (at the screen), but you do not see. I am referring to the Real-time Guru Stock Picks. You are missing the boat of profiting along with the Investment Gurus.
A couple of days ago, a member commented that she was already impressed with free content we provide to registered free members and she wondered how could it get even better than that.
Yes, a lot better. Here is a summary of features available to Unregistered Guest, Registered Members, and Premium Members. This is a list of good reasons why you should register as a member or a premium member.
As registering and becoming a member is free, I am not even going to urge you spend a few moments of your precious time to register and become a free member. That is like to listen to National Public Radio(NPR) for a whole life and never become a member. Except in the case for GuruFocus, membership is free.
Between free members and premium members, one of the biggest differences is that premium members have access to Real-time Guru Stock Picks. . Let me log in and show you what I see.
If your eye sight is as good as mine (mine is 20/20 thanks to the LASIK operation a couple of years ago), you will be able to see the symbols for stocks that Bill Gates, Steve Mandel, Chuch Akre bought recently. My colleague will be mad at me for me give away too much, but it is OK. You have made thus far in your reading of my article, I think you deserve my giving this little bit of information. Giving is more blessed than receiving.
In case you can’t see picture very clearly, let me tell you: Top on the list, Bill Gates has been buying Republic Services Inc.(RSG) recently. Very recently, like through March 3, 2009. Here is the trading data if you click on the symbol (RSG)
Now Who is Republic Service Inc.? Republic Services Inc. is a leading provider of services in the domestic non-hazardous solid waste industry. They provide non-hazardous solid waste collection services for commercial industrial municipal and residential customers through their collection companies. They also own or operate transfer stations and solid waste landfills.Â
Just in case you also wonder who Cascade Investment LLC is, it is Bill Gates’s personal account. (joint account with Melinda, I suppose), managed by Michael Larson. I guess we could have called Michael Larson the Guru. But Bill Gates is the man behind the money, and he is more famous and generate more interest to our site.
Bill Gates has been buying Republic Services Inc. almost every week, half a million each day. How many shares does RSG have outstanding? 182 million. And how many shares does Bill Gates own already? 35 million (19%) as of December 31, 2008. If you are free member, that is all you going to see. But premium member know, as of March 3, Bill Gates owns more than 57 million shares or 31.42%.
Bill Gate is adding to his position very frequently. Last week, when RSG reported a fourth-quarter loss of $131.7 million on Friday due to impairment and restructuring charges related to the merging with Allied Waste Industries Inc., stock price tumbled. But Bill Gates came back, bought more than 1.1 million shares this week. We call that conviction.
You see, unless you are a premium member, you will miss all the actions and opportunities to profit along with the Investment Gurus like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. So far in the Bill Gates story, he is losing money. But that is OK, at least you will know what to buy in this dreadful market.
