Laszlo Birinyi of Birinyi Associates, Inc. is one of the more frequently watched portfolio managers by the public. The reason is not that he is one of the largest fund managers. But he is watched because of his (and his firm’s) prowess on recognizing substantial inflows and outflows of capital at the onslaught of a trend. Some might argue that this is more reactionary and following, but many have used this method for years and years. Frankly, we have watched his investing activities for years and years.
These are not at all of Birinyi’s holdings, but there many of the top holdings noted in an SEC filing this week covering his positions as of December 31, 2007. We also did not include any of the ETF positions. Keep in mind that many of these may have already changed, but here is the list:

Is Your Money Earning the Best Possible Rate? (Sponsor)
Let’s face it: If your money is just sitting in a checking account, you’re losing value every single day. With most checking accounts offering little to no interest, the cash you worked so hard to save is gradually being eroded by inflation.
However, by moving that money into a high-yield savings account, you can put your cash to work, growing steadily with little to no effort on your part. In just a few clicks, you can set up a high-yield savings account and start earning interest immediately.
There are plenty of reputable banks and online platforms that offer competitive rates, and many of them come with zero fees and no minimum balance requirements. Click here to see if you’re earning the best possible rate on your money!
