From Barron's 7-30-07:
"At Goldman Sachs, equity strategist David Kostin advised clients in a morning note that stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index with the highest hedge-fund ownership concentration have outpaced the index during six of seven months following a stock market decline.
Options can be used as a surrogate for buying the stocks, which further reduces the risk of owning equities at a time when the market may snap lower.
Investors interested in owning the shares because they think the hedge fund traders have identified stocks with good prospects might want to consider establishing positions by selling puts, or even buying long-dated calls."
