Basically this… and it’s how cycles work.
Retail was early and completely frontran institutions on next architectural shifts.
There was close to 0 US institutional ownership on
$SIVE.
And now you see active institutions like JP Morgan, Fidelity Research, and others on the cap table.
Happened last year with
$NBIS.
> I called out close to <30% institutional accumulation and said they wanted more shares.
> institutions bought up majority of the float
> bunch of negative articles back then, now it’s positive and ATHs.
Two years before it was
$RKLB
> Was long at $16, but institutional analysts kept giving record low PTs and told retail to sell, although it had such a high reusable rocket rate.
> retail sold, institutional ownership stocked up
> now it’s ATHs
I expect Foci (3363) to be a bottleneck for both
$NVDA and
$TSM optical programs and now there’s firms implying you to sell that at $2.5B valuations alongside
$HIMX.
So if you see negative sellside reports or an uncanny wave of negative news, if’s a good signal they need liquidity.
Recently some smaller hedge funds have been so desperate that they’re likely even using bot farms on X that told retail to sell lol… which I’ve uncovered recently.
Regardless, it’s also why I spend a lot of time doing research on individual names so people can build their own conviction in the face of noise.
Unfortunately, it’s just a part of life how the modern liquidity cycles/transfers of US retail -> Institutions work.
They don’t work in the best interest of retail investors.
