Chanos Long on (FMCN) (C) (NYX) (NDAQ) (RAX)
Jim Chanos has built his reputation on his short sales, but that has changed some, according to the latest filing of Kynikos Associates LP, which via its 13F form shows the company has taken long positions in a number of holdings, including Citigroup (NYSE:C) NYSE Euronext (NYSE:NYX), NASDAQ OMX (NASDAQ:NDAQ), Focus Media Holding Ltd (NASDAQ:FMCN) and Rackspace Hosting (NYSE:RAX).
This may be the first time Chanos's company has entered into long positions, suggesting a major shift in strategy and thinking.
It will bear watching over the months ahead to see if this is a long-term shift for the shorting legend.
There are numerous theories as to why Chanos has started going long, one of which is new investors may be pressing him to become more investment-neutral than in the past.
It'll be interesting to see if he offers up an explanation.

Riverbed (Nasdaq:RVBD), Blue Coat (Nasdaq:BCSI), Rackspace (NYSE:RAX) Plunge on F5 Miss
The "miss" by F5 Networks (Nasdaq:FFIV) has caused reverberations across the sector, as Riverbed Technology (Nasdaq:RVBD), Blue Coat Systems(Nasdaq:BCSI) and Rackspace (NYSE:RAX) all had their share prices plunge on concerns the sector may be slowing down.
It's all about momentum with the F5 story, and if it appears that's what's happening (yet to be determined), the companies would take another big hit before the smoke cleared.
Interestingly, it's not that the quarter for F5 was bad, but they and the other companies in the sector are simply victims of the sectors' recent success, which had generated high expectations that would eventually have to be disappointed.
More than anything, it appears it was the lower guidance by F5 for 2011 that made the most impact.
Rackspace was trading at $29.92, dropping $3.51, or 10.50 percent, as of 11:25 AM EST. Blue Coat was trading at $27.53, down $2.67, or 8.84 percent. Riverbed was at $34.08, losing $2.89, or 7.82 percent.
