Musk Buys a Big Twitter Stake

April 4, 2022

The big news of the day is centered around an SEC filing by the wealthiest man in the world.

This morning, Elon Musk disclosed a 9.2% ownership stake in Twitter $TWTR in a 13G filing. Musk has amassed roughly 73.5 million shares for a value of almost $3 billion.

According to the filing, Musk has been buying since the middle of March.

Another thing that really stands out about this is that despite Musk’s public criticism of the company, he disclosed his ownership as a passive investor.

The market seems to like it just as much though, as TWTR is up over 20% on this news in the pre-market.

Winder Investment Pte Ltd continues to build its position in Seagate Technology $STX, as it just filed its third Form 4 in the last three days.

Winder now owns over 5.1 million shares.

In another Form 4 filing, Andrei Karkar revealed a $5 million purchase of The Metals Company $TMC. 

That brings his total holdings to about 47 million shares, which represents an ownership stake of over 21%.

Andrei Karkar is CEO of ERAS Holdings LLC, the Karkar Family Office. The Karkar Family Office is the successor to Karkar Electronics, which was founded in 1959 by Edward Karkar, a legend in Silicon Valley.

Here’s The Hot List, with data through April 1, 2022:

The only 13D on our list was filed by Oaktree Capital Management LP, which revealed an ownership stake of 11.30% in Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation $OCSL.

In another Form 4, the CEO of Humana, Bruce D. Broussard, purchased $249,722 of HP Inc $HPQ company stock. Broussard is a member of the board of directors.

Last but not least, there was bullish options flow in the world's largest uranium company, Cameco Corporation $CCJ, and in the American beverage company, Monster Beverage Corp $MNST.

There was also bearish options activity in the multinational conglomerate, General Electric $GE.
