    By Meena Krishnamsetty - February 5, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, BSBR, KMI, KSS, VFC

    When assets under management start to stretch into the billions of dollars, scalping and short-term trading techniques become less scalable and profitable, and investors are often forced to make use of longer-term, value-driven, income-generating strategies.

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - January 11, 2013 | Tickers: CYT, HUN, KMI, KGC, VVUS

    John Burbank founded Passport Capital in 2000 after deciding that financial markets were placing too much emphasis on short-term results and not spending enough time looking at big-picture changes in the world.
