At a monster truck rally, there are the monster trucks and the little cars they crush.
It’s better to ride in the truck.
In much the same way, big institutions dominate the stock market. When mutual funds, banks, insurers and pensions pile into a stock, they drive it higher. They have power.
Follow their lead and you’re likely to proper. Get in their way and you’ll be totaled. Time it properly and InshAllah you will win.
You need these heavy hitters’ buying power. That’s why it’s crucial to know if they’re building positions in a stock you own or are thinking about buying. Find out where they are putting their money.
A rating of A or B indicates net buying by institutions. Check Investors Business Daily.
Institutions have brains as well as brawn. They have teams of researchers to uncover the best stocks. If mutual funds-especially the best ones-are buying a stock, it’ll likely do well. ?? will appreciate because of their buying power.
Almost all great stocks have at least one mutual funds rated A-or better just before they break out. The Institutional Sponsorship Rating is in the stock tables every Tuesday and in the weekly charts of “NYSE Stocks in the News” and “Nasdaq Stocks in the News,” in Investors Business Daily.
Institutional backing props up great stocks when they’re correcting and then propels them to new heights. When a stock breaks out, volume should be at least 40% to 50% above its 50-day average. That indicates big institutions are driving up the price.
