kekls : many still hold cash
steady Pom pipi : Just pick a few
Aloner : i would say that it is persuasive but should not be binding. At the end of the day, we all still need to do our homework i.e. check fundamentals, develop a thesis for the stock, determine price vs value, check for whether management aligns with shareholder. 13F is useful to garner ideas but its old data and these big boys might have way different investment thesis and a much longer runaway to stomach downside. They also have much more money and have to be diversified. In summary, 13F is good but should not be followed blindly, if everyone just copied 13F buys then everyone should have been rich long ago....
Amazing JS Aloner : New user here. Although I do not know who is 13F & how good he/she is, personally I think our own due diligence is important.
Aloner Amazing JS : yep indeed, need to do your homework. FYI 13F are mandatory disclosures by investment funds regarding their stock portfolio movements
Ermmmmm : My user name is Ermmmm
Jack1212 : I think the rules of thumb is to follow the flow of the liquidity/$$. Too bad 13F is historical data. It can however provide a guidance on the flow.
Use it wisely!!
Sunny Sunshine : Just use it as a reference. Currently, the information gap is gradually narrowing, provided that retail investors have the energy to invest in research. Large investment banks have human and material resources to better track and study targets, and their information has high reference value. However, there is a difference between the purpose and behavior of large institutions and individual investments. Personal investment is more about controlling one's own risk, and not losing money is a much more stable and stable holding experience than high ups and downs, so you can sleep well.
Johannpee : Institutions' majority portfolio are in large cap stocks. Yes, these stocks inch and creep slowly but surely it moves upwards 9/12 months or more. And usually, institutions have a small % allocated to that "differential" stock , the one that has shown grown, huge potential, might yet to be profitable with less than 2-3 years of performance. Looking at their investment portfolio and past record, I reckon its a safer, better strategy to adopt. Afterall, the trade off between risk and returns is your time in the market. Good luck!
mrtruelove : We can take a look on great investors portfolio as references but do not just fast-follow as what he/she invested might not suit us. We still need to do our own homework before any investment and not treat it as gambling. Btw, I’m following YouTuber “Chicken Genius Singapore”.
