Stockpickr Staff

Also, see if your stock-picks appear in the following Stockpickr portfolios. If your stocks appear in several portfolios, this can help inform your trade decision.

  • Activist investor portfolios, such as Atticus Capital and Third Point, LLC. Funds like these are well run and have a track record of investing in undervalued undervaluationcompanies.
  • University portfolios, such as Harvard Management and Yale University . Universities like these are large investors and they can take large, activist positions in the companies in which they invest. Search the Stockpickr professional portfolios to see what's in your alma mater's portfolio and how it has performed.
  • Stocks With Unusual Options Activity: If there are sizable put put-optionor call options call-option outstanding for a stock, then that could be a signal for a breakout in its price, either up or down. (This is yet another type of unusual activity.)
