Highly Regarded BlackRock Ups Its Merck Stake -- Returns To YE 2013 Level Holdings

After what turned out to be a slight one year dip on the trend-line, BlackRock has returned to the near 7 per cent of outstandings holdings level, in Merck -- as of December 31, 2015. [That is the date as of which the SEC requires disclosure, in these circumstances.]

For a six year running trend line, on BlackRock's investment in Kenilworth, just click here -- from my analogous post of February 2015.

We now await the filings of Wellington and Capital World. I don't know whether there will be new names on the "five-plus per cent list" this year, but we will know that shortly.

Onward we go, on a frozen Ash Wednesday -- as Mardi Gras winds down, for another year. . .
