"(l) Dubuque Bank and Trust, represented by Tom Peckosh and/or Sarah Reicks, of P.O. Box 747, Dubuque, IA, 52004-0747, has voting and investment control of these shares."
Investment officer Tom Peckosh says, “It’s all about the four E’s – Energy, Economy, Earnings, and Election.” Energy Oil, coal and natural gas are all higher, with oil topping out at more than $130 per bbl. Economy The fears have moved from recession to inflation, although neither is good news for stocks. Earnings Most are holding up, with the exception of financial and consumer discretionary stocks. Sarah Reicks, investment officer, notes the difficulty in directing investments when the markets are not following any sort of historical precedent. “Normally in an economic slowdown, you purchase utilities and financial service-type stocks. Since the market top on October 11, 2007, those two sectors have returned -0.62% and -38.57%, respectively.” To illustrate the disparity between the strongest performing S&P sector (energy stocks) and the weakest (financial stocks), see the chart to the right. While both sectors exhibited losses in the first quarter, energy companies found legs in the second quarter and financial companies continued their hemorrhaging. Take heart, equity investors. Current valuations are reasonable. Miller notes, “There are trillions of dollars in liquid funds awaiting a home.” Jackson chimes in, “This mountain of cash is a contrary indicator and represents a future source of demand once the stock market starts to turn around.” http://www.htlf.com/UserFiles/File/WMG_Perspective_2nd_Quarter_2008.pdf

Nice to see a huge jump in the number of shares held by institutions.
It would take a lot of time and effort to acquire all those shares. I'm wondering if the presence of PERT beating down the price for an extended period of time was to help this institution acquire shares at a good price. Won't be the first time that type of game has been played.
