    <>Update
    Huron Consulting Group Inc (HURN) reported a 44 percent rise in quarterly profit, but forecast first-quarter revenue below market expectations, citing weak performance of its legal financial consulting business.
    The Chicago-based financial services consulting company, however, sees profits growing between 20 to 25 percent in 2008, as it seeks to gain from a worsening credit and housing market.

    Week 40 Major Position Changes

    Fund positions of 1.0% or greater can be found each week in the right margin of the blog, under the label cloud and recent comments areas; I highlight weekly the larger position changes.

    Being a long only fund, via Marketocracy rules, the only hedges to the downside I have are cash or buying short ETFs. I cannot short individual equities.

    To see historic weekly fund changes click here OR the label at the bottom of this entry entitled ‘fund positions’.

    <>Cash: 18.1% (vs 3.3% last week)
    54 long bias: 60.2% (vs 77.7% last week)

    2 Solid Earnings Reports - Foster Wheeler (FWLT) and FTI Consulting (FCN)

    Knock on wood but we continue a strange streak of no major earnings blowouts from the myriad fund holdings. I had reduced both positions going into earnings to reduce risk, but looks like both came through quite well.

    <>As opposed to Huron Consulting (HURN) which we sold out of yesterday, peer FTI Consulting (FCN) just continues to execute quarter after quarter; beat estimates and raise guidance - par for the course for these guys. All the drivers that should be driving HURN are in fact driving FCN. All this earnings growth even with a large share count increase (nearly a quarter) - even mo...
