发帖数: 2482 | 1 Finding Out Who Holds the Institutional Sponsorship
It all comes down to the quality of institutional sponsorship. With a little
extra research, investors can find out which institutions own the stock.
For spotting companies with good fundamentals, you can determine if the
stock is owned by funds with good track records.
One way to see if a stock has some institutional support is by checking its
trading activity for block trades. A block trade, which is a single trade of
a large number of shares, typically has a value of at least $100,000.
Normally only an institutional investor has the money to buy such blocks.
Otherwise, visit Multex Investor, which provides a list of links to research
reports online, some of which may identify institutional holdings. Many of
the Multex reports are free.
Of course, the easiest way to find out if a company has some institutional
sponsorship is simply to ask it. Often the company's investor-relations web
page will provide a listing. Otherwise ask the company's representative if
any of their shares are held by mutual funds, pension funds or other
institutional investors. They should be able to tell you which institutions
are shareholders. |
