Across the 370 purchases of communications stocks Coldpine can price, the stock moved +0.74% on average between the trade date and the date the member disclosed it, against +1.90% for the S&P 500 over the same windows, a difference of -1.16 points. The median purchase moved +0.74%. The stock was higher at disclosure in 53% of those purchases and did better than the S&P 500 in 45%.
