From Barron's 8-6-07:

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.

From Barron's 8-6-07: "Seidman & Associates intends to meet with the directors and management to request a board seat and to review ways to maximize shareholder value. Lawrence Seidman, Seidman & Associates' manager, will ask Massbank to review and analyze the value that it could achieve as an independent institution, versus its value from a sale to a larger institution. Seidman said that if the board declines to do this, he will seek to elect three directors at the next annual meeting through a proxy contest, but that he hopes the board wouldn't want to incur such undue expense. Seidman holds 251,714 shares (5.83%)."
