100 Most Sold Stocks By Famous Investment Gurus Between May - October 2012

Stocks With Recent Short Activities By Investment Professionals Researched By Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. Investment gurus are asset or fund managers with big amounts of cash under management. They became popular by big returns and spectacular investment strategies. I talk about investors like George Soros and Warren Buffett. They all have one thing in common: The average return beats the market and if they invest, the market follows.

I made a screen of the biggest stock sells from 49 super investors over the recent six month and ranked them in my 100 best guru sells list. They all sold 499 stocks within the past half- year. The top stocks are Wal-Mart (WMT) and Microsoft (MSFT). Both companies were sold by twelve investment gurus.

Here are the five most sold companies:
