Greenlight Capital: David Einhorn Q2 2016

Relaxation period was over for David. Full speed forward with plenty of actions going on!

For the previous report please visit Greenlight Capital: David Einhorn Q1 2016.

The new holdings are:

Amaya - Online gambling.

Amerco - North America's largest “do-it-yourself” moving and storage operator.

Amerisourcebergen - A distributor of pharmaceutical products.

Arris - A telecommunications equipment company.

Calpine - A power generation company. Mainly gas.

F M C - A service and equipment provider for power companies.

Hertz Global Holding - The car rental etc company.

Perrigo - A pharmaceutical manufacturing company.

Quorum Health - Operates hospitals etc.

Rite Aid - A drug store chain.

Vaneck Vectors ETF - Offer all kind of investments...

Conclusion: 11 new companies added to the portfolio and 10 were kicked out so David was up around 40% turnover of holdings and this only includes the "snap-shot" that we get from SEC. I always get a feeling of desperation when I see these kind of things but I am sure that is wrong.

Greenlight Capital: David Einhorn Q1 2016

David seems to have relaxed a little again and he did not jump into as many companies as he did the quarter before. With his five new additions (which actually only means that he holds these companies over the quarter change and he might have traded and held many more companies during the course of the the quarter) he is back to his "normal".

For the previous report please visit Greenlight Capital: David Einhorn Q4 2015.

The new additions were:

Community Health Systems Inc - An American healthcare company that owns leases and operates hospitals.

Globalstar - An American company that are producing satellite phones and providing the satellite net to run it.

Hatteras Financial Corp - An American REIT.

Lamar Advertising - An American advertising company.

PVH Corp - An American apparel company. They own the brands Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, SPEEDO etc.

Greenlight Capital: David Einhorn Q4 2015

If hedge fund manager desperation could be drawn up in table then it would probably look pretty much like what we have below. This is like a poker player playing each hand in an attempt to recover the losses. Wooow, is all I can say to this activity. When the hedge fund went well he did very few changes... maybe he should sit down and take a time out to get back on track again.

The fresh additions were:

CNX Coal - An American coal mining company... which I find funny since on the other hand he is getting more and more involved in Solar...

Garmin - A Swiss navigation products company please see analysis of Garmin.

Terraform - A renewable energy company acquired from SunEdison.

Vivint Solar - A solar panel company.

Greenlight Capital: David Einhorn Q2 2015

The swiftest mover of all the investors that I follow is David and here I will report what he has been up to during the second quarter of 2015.

There has been several new additions to his portfolio:

Greenlight Capital: David Einhorn Q1 2015

The SECs are out and the third one in the list to look at is David Einhorn. His amount of holdings have significantly decreased since last quarter but he had time to get some new ones as you will find out below.

Greenlight Capital: David Einhorn Q4 2014

High activity which seems to be the standard behaviour of David. He jumps in, he jumps out, he jumps all around for a little while. Sometimes I even think that he is selling stock based on the letter that the company name starts with. But... as I said... it is only my feeling.

The new additions were:

Greenlight Capital: David Einhorn Q3 2014

Greenlight Capital has as tradition holds had a quarter of high activity and once again they jumped back into a company that was sold off completely in Q2.

Several new additions were made:

The SEC for Greenlight Capital shows us the American companies that David has bought and sold during Q2 2014. The activity as always has been high and this time he even jumped back into a company that he had stepped out of in Q1.

The new additions to his stock portfolio were:

Greenlight Capital: David Einhorn Q1 2014

David Einhorn tends to be a very active investor and also this quarter there has been several changes to the stock portfolio. Here you can find the previous analysis of the dealings for Greenlight Capital and David Einhorn Q4 2013.

The new stocks were:

Greenlight Capital: David Einhorn Q4 2013

David and Greenlight had a very busy quarter with the addition of several companies to their stock portfolio.

The new companies were:

Anadarko Pete Corp. - Oil and gas exploration and production company.

BP - British Petroleum the UK oil giant that I am shareholder in.

Chicos Fas Inc - A fashion company for women 30+.

Greenlight Capital Inc: David Einhorn Q3 2013

David Einhorn and his Greenlight Capital were a little bit more relaxed this quarter. They managed to add three new companies and they kicked out another three.

The new one were:

Intrexon Corp - Claim to improve the bioindustrial revolution via better DNA. I have never heard the word bioindustrial before. Either way they are by the quick look of it working with the enhancement of DNA so similar to Monsanto but they are pushing four fields. Health, Food, Energy and Environment.

NVR Inc - An American real estate and home financing company.

Tempur Sealy - It is the matrasses and pillow company that are working with ergonomics and composition mixtures to improve the sleep of people.

Greenlight Capital Inc: David Einhorn Q2 2013

I must say that David Einhorn had a very busy time in Q2 2013. It is rare to see so much shifting of stocks in a value based investment company. David has obviously gone outside of the US with the money and therefore they have no demand to report to the SEC.

Several stocks have been kicked out as can be seen in the list below.

There were also some new stocks and they were:

Greenlight Capital Inc Q1 2013

Stocks Q1 2013

First of all I must admit that Mr. Einhorn put his money where his mouth was because he doubled the amount of shares in Apple.

The new companies that he added:

Capital BK Finl Corp: Is a bank holding company

Hess Corp: Is an American oil company

IAC Interactive Corp: Media and internet company well known and established internet brands.

National BK Hldgs corp: Another bank holding company. One can almost suspect that they expect the interest rates to increase soon again. This would mean that the smaller banks that has no investment banking but are living on the interest rates will all of a sudden start to make a profit again...

Oil STS Intl Inc: Service company for the oil industry

Spirit Aerosystem Hldgs Inc: Building several parts for Boeing airplanes.

Einhorn and Apple

This evening I read an article that stated that Einhorn with his Greenlight Capital have increased their shares in Apple. They are apparently expecting a or several new blockbusters from Apple.
I find it very strange... since I follow each quarter what he buys and sells and in the third quarter he decreased in Apple and in the fourth he made an increase during 2012.

Next week I will get access to the new filings so I will check if Einhorn puts his money where his mouth is or if it is just a show for the masses to try to push up the share price.

Greenlight Capital Inc Q4 2012

In the fourth quarter of 2012 David Einhorn went ballistic in terms of adding new companies but especially adding more shares in the companies that he already owned!

Below the changes are shown for the fourth quarter in 2012.

Since we have already reported on the Q1 and Q2 for 2012 we need to keep this going so that it will be possible to copy what these clever guys are doing.

Greenlight Capital Inc Q1/Q2 2012: David Einhorn

Today I guess that everyone knows David Einhorn since he decided to sue Apple. He seems to like to get attention every now and then and sometimes I have the feeling that he mainly puts himself in the spotlight because the investment did not work out as he hoped or as fast as he hoped.
