We can see David Tepper and Kyle Bass were the heaviest buyers in the first quarter. David Tepper has been very good at catching market bottoms. He has usually bought into the market when investors are scared. It is interesting to see him buying heavily as the market reached multi-year highs. David Tepper bought heavily into technology stocks including QQQ, Apple ( AAPL ), Google ( GOOG ), etc. You can see his trades here. Kyle Bass has been bearish for a while. But he also bought heavily in the first quarter. Interestingly, he is also heavily into technology stocks. He bought telecom companies such as Alcatel ( ALU ), Tellabs ( TLAB ), etc. You can see the details of Bass' trades here. Hedge fund managers like David Einhorn, Seth Klarman and George Soros are evidently more bearish, as they have sold a lot more stocks than they bought.
