RE: Another Anomoly ?whaler,
You had trouble yesterday posting your response on Stockhouse to my earlier post, so I will do it for you. Of course I'll only include the relevant portion to ISM as this is the ISM BB. High Road and all that. No need to bore the natives with unrelated jargon. Besides, LBE losing 6 million Institutional shares in a year doesn't really compare to over 3 million in a month before an expected 43-101 report does it?
"For some reason I am having a tough time posting this on Stockhouse so I will post it here. He talked about a decrease in institutional holdings for ISM and asked what it meant? Well of course it can only mean demise, doom and gloom for ISM as a company.
So I wanted to see how other companys were making out in these tough investment times...........
Yawn............ Surething. It's simply the circle of life in instituional investing. Seems there is no loyalty. I would expect an institution to be a seller. Unlike us they don't fall in love with their investments and ride them out through thick and thin. They are accountable to their investors and are expected to return with good performance for them. They have some pretty stict and focused goals and or investing targets. If they aren't made and usually within a certain timeframe they are traded and institutions constantly rebalance and reassemble their portfolio mixes."
whaler, it appears the "
the circle of life in instituional investing " doesn't seem to tally with regard to the number of shares traded and shares no longer held. That was the topic that I was really asking for thoughts on. You obviously do not have any plausible explanation either; as I stated previously I've never noticed a discrepancy such as this before.
Anyway thanks for the tired response.

PS If it's such a "
Yawn" having to respond to a post............ why bother?
