Marc Majzner’s fund, Clearline Capital, also sold off its stock, about $3.7 million worth.

Let’s also examine hedge fund activity in other stocks similar to On Deck Capital Inc (NYSE:ONDK). We will take a look at Green Brick Partners Inc (NASDAQ:GRBK), Dynavax Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:DVAX), BioTime, Inc. (NYSEAMEX:BTX), and Teligent Inc (NASDAQ:TLGT).

Dynavax Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:DVAX) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand BioTime, Inc. (NYSEAMEX:BTX) is the least popular one with only 7 bullish hedge fund positions. On Deck Capital Inc (NYSE:ONDK) is not the least popular stock in this group but hedge fund interest is just average. This is a slightly negative signal and we’d rather spend our time researching stocks that hedge funds are piling on. In this regard DVAX might be a better candidate to consider taking a long position in.
