Want to know the most popular US stocks among active fund managers?

A Credit Suisse team led by Lori Calvasina looked at "long only, actively managed" small, mid, and large cap funds to find the answer.

Microsoft was the most crowded US stock with 380 large cap funds holding long positions. Apple and Google followed close behind with the interest of 374 and 358 funds respectively.
