BlackBerry: Major New Investors? (Seeking Alpha)
Institutional Ownership information erroneously posted Wednesday on CNBC suggested that Atl Capital, a Spanish investment bank, had acquired 44.2 million shares in Research In Motion Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) to propel them from nowhere to becoming the second largest shareholder. BlackBerry share price should have exploded on the news, but the market seemed to just yawn and in the end BlackBerry closed down on the day.

However, when I looked into SEC regulations, and examined market activity over the past few months, the conclusion I came to was that a significant investor could have established a sizable holding and traditional ‘reliable’ sources may not necessarily have reported it.
