From Barron's 7-9-07:

Each week Barron's has a 13D Filings column. 13Ds are filed when a fund (usually an activist hedge fund) accumulates more than 5% of a firm and is planning on pushing for change (e.g.a sale of the company, sale of certain assets, a share buyback, or a share dividend) to unlock value.

See Hate list below where funds filed 13Ds showing a new decrease in particular positions.

(TRY) has notified Wendy's that it considers itself "a natural, strategic buyer" of the hamburger chain, but contends that Wendy's is seeking to block any transaction.

Triarc's non-executive chairman, billionaire Nelson Peltz, holds 8.55 million Wendy's shares (9.8%). He'd been Triarc's CEO until resigning that post last week."

Genzyme is extending the offer until July 10 and waiving a condition that it acquire at least 50% of Bioenvision's outstanding common. SCO Capital Partners has 7,209,331 shares (13.4%)."
