Following is not ranking
A guru feed answers what they disclosed; the harder question is whose moves are worth studying. Ten funds can report the same stock and mean ten different things by it. A holdings feed shows each position and its portfolio weight, then stops there. HoldingsIntel adds the judgment layer: star ratings assess managers across seven dimensions, conviction measures each disclosed buy, and Fund Cloner simulates those disclosed positions against the S&P 500 before you borrow an idea.
