100 Dividend Stocks That Big Investment Gurus Bought Over The Past Half-

Investment gurus are asset or fund managers with big amounts of cash under management. They became popular by big returns and spectacular investment strategies. I talk about investors like George Soros and Warren Buffett. They all have one thing in common: The average return beats the market and if they invest, the market follows. I made a screen of the biggest stock buys from 49 super investors over the recent six month and ranked them in my 100 best guru buy list.
