by Bullitt on 06-08-2023 at 03:27 PM
Published in the Journal of Financial Economics in 2019 by Zhenyu Gao, Jiang Luo, Haohan Ren, and Bohui Zhang, the paper examines the relationship between institutional investors and market sentiment.

by Bullitt on 11-30-2014 at 08:30 AM
The following message is my reply to an online publication that made the argument for actively managed funds over passive index funds.

by Bullitt on 05-04-2013 at 01:10 PM
High Frequency Traders (HFT’s) are the biggest player in global markets today and are responsible for the highly complex trading algorithms that companies like GS strive to keep secret. HFT’s claim to be “liquidity providers” to pick up a bid when needed while large institutions who trade large blocks of a stock claim they have had a negative impact on the overall financial markets.
