Our research has shown that the best strategy is to follow hedge funds into their small-cap picks. This approach can allow monthly returns of nearly 95 basis points above the market, as we determined through extensive backtests covering the period between 1999 and 2012 (see the details here).

Denbury Higher Due to the Rising WTI

Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE:DNR) shares have surged by 10% out of the gate on the back of stronger WTI prices. Although last weekend’s meeting in Doha ended in abject failure after Saudi Arabia and Iran failed to see eye-to-eye on a freeze, the strike in Kuwait has solved the over-supply problem all by itself, sending supply down by around 1.7 million barrels per day. How long the strike lasts is up for debate, however. For the bulls, the longer the better. In other news, Denbury Resources announced that its borrowing base was cut to $1.05 billion from the previous $1.50 billion. 17 top funds in our database owned shares of Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE:DNR) at the end of December.

ArcelorMittal Up 3% on Better Sentiment

ArcelorMittal SA (ADR) (NYSE:MT) is 3% in the green today on the strength of the lower dollar. The lower dollar means more emerging market growth, which means more steel demand. ArcelorMittal’s bondholders also tendered less than half of the bonds (of 1.5 billion euros) that the company wanted to buy back according to a statement released on Tuesday. Whether that’s a smart move depends on how long the oversupply situation in the industry lasts. Like the oil producers in Doha last weekend, China and major steel producers failed to reach a deal on Monday to solve global steel overcapacity. 16 top funds that we track in our database owned 2.8% of ArcelorMittal SA (ADR) (NYSE:MT)’s float at the end of December.
