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.

A. agree with mike, if you are new to
investing the market the best think you
can do right now is watch. The market
is not cheap in any way right now other

are going to a lot longer than what most
people think to become stable let alone
recover.
