Last week, George Soros' fund made a new filing with the Securities and Exchange that details all of the transactions it made in the last quarter of 2006. Soros has been very busy, with 10 new positions and more than two dozen positions that he either exited or reduced through sales.

Soros' biggest position now is Companhia Vale Do Rio Doce (RIO), which, because he increased it more than 1,400% since the prior quarter's filing, now accounts for 9.6% of his portfolio.

Soros' second-largest holding is International Rectifier (IRF), a new position since his last filing. IRF makes up 4.8% of Soros' portfolio.
