Today I like to look at the biggest dividend stock buys from George Soros. George is a real speculator. His 20 biggest changes had an impact to his portfolio between 0.34 percent and 1.3 percent. Only eight of his 20 biggest stock buys pay dividends.
In total, George Soros has a much diversified fund. His biggest position, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF – Put, has a portfolio weighting of 4.8 percent. The second biggest position is the oil & gas company Pioneer Natural Resources with a 3.4 percent share.
Here are my favorite stocks:
