Guru John Hussman , the president and principal shareholder of Hussman Strategic Advisors, added three stakes to his portfolio in the first quarter that were large enough to qualify for spots in his top 20 holdings by volume. Two of those stakes are in the Retail - Apparel and Specialty sector, and one - Staples - was big enough to land in Hussman's top 10. Hussman bought 400,000 shares of Staples, a Massachusetts-based office supply chain store, for an average price of $16.79 per share.
