Let’s also examine hedge fund activity in other stocks – not necessarily in the same industry as Control4 Corp (NASDAQ:CTRL) but similarly valued. We will take a look at ASA Gold and Precious Metals Ltd (NYSE:ASA), Ascent Capital Group Inc (NASDAQ:ASCMA), Care.com Inc (NYSE:CRCM), and America’s Car-Mart, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRMT). All of these stocks’ market caps resemble CTRL’s market cap.

As you can see these stocks had an average of 10 hedge funds with bullish positions and the average amount invested in these stocks was $63 million. That figure was $39 million in CTRL’s case. Ascent Capital Group Inc (NASDAQ:ASCMA) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand ASA Gold and Precious Metals Ltd (NYSE:ASA) is the least popular one with only 4 bullish hedge fund positions. Control4 Corp (NASDAQ:CTRL) is not the most popular stock in this group but hedge fund interest is still above average. This is a slightly positive signal but we’d rather spend our time researching stocks that hedge funds are piling on. In this regard ASCMA might be a better candidate to consider taking a long position in, but CTRL is one to watch.
