Stocks that George Soros Keeps Buying
...George Soros owns 5,547,604 shares of WPRT, valued as $122 million as of Mar. 31, 2011, which accounts for 1.45% of his equity portfolio. George Soros added his positions in the Dec. 31, 2010 quarter by 38.98%, again in the Mar. 31, 2011 quarter by 22.56%. Soros bought a massive 1.8 million shares at the early of 2010, and he has been buying ever since. The stock price only increased by $4 in 1 quarter and stayed the same for a year, and his holdings has steadily and interestingly increased by 1 million every quarter, this is a stock that should be looked more closely and for understanding why he has so much confidence in this stock. No other guru but one currently has any shares of this stock and that guru only owns 280,000 shares not 5.5 million....The stock is up 4% today, at $21.27.
