stock ownership | Individuals vs. INSTITUTIONS
Approximate Stock Ownership
1950’s
individuals: 92%
INSTITUTIONS: 8%
2009
individuals: 26%
INSTITUTIONS: 74%
This is something that the retail investor has to greatly consider when formulating their individual investment strategies, as they need to be aware of the risks associated with institutional momentum, and how they can end up as road kill. It is interesting to have the conversation around whether or not long-term investing is over in light of the change in majority. In terms of “long-term” investing, individuals who do not require beating last quarter’s number, are much more inclined to be patience and thus more sophisticated than larger companies and investors when it comes to timing.
PS – I wonder how much government policies affected this shift?

Two new versions from Christian Louboutin (with studs) for men, and a new model from Dior.
It looks like luxury sneakers are here for a while longer despite the MAD MENization of menswaer.
