well, when a big money outfit(usually funds) decides to take a significant position ( i thought it was 5%, but several of these are ~3%) in a company they are required to file a sc 13g form proclaiming its position.
i think its bullish because it represents heavy buying. it could represent an intent to buy the company, i think. i'm not an expert on all the uses of the form.

from investopedia----
Investopedia explains 'Schedule 13G'
To be able to file a 13G instead of a 13D, the party must own between 5% and 20% in the company. It must also be clearly understood that the party acquiring the stake in the company is only a passive investor, and does not intend to exert control. If these criteria are not met, and if the size in the stake exceeds 20%, a 13D must be filed.
