usually? a 13G is used to simply report that an institutional entity has over 5% control of a co's stock... this is a 13g/A the A meaning ammended...
without reading thru all their filing? i can't tell what the implication is...
13g's and D's (for individuals) are usually filed to demonstrate the right to vote on a decision at a meeting... any entity owning over 5% must file..
since this filing shows less than 5%? and i don't have time to read several pages of filings? my guess is that this is an ammendment to show a DROP in oppenheimers holding? GUESS ONLY...
they could be notifying of an intent to acquire more.. if you are heavy in SIRI? you should read thru their filings..
if you type the symbol just to the left of the ADD tab you'll get all of their listed filings...
