OT: Institutions have been selling more shares than they have been buying. If the market is going to rally institutions must stop selling, start buying shares on increasing volume and then actually hold their shares long enough for a rally to continue onto new highs for the market.

The reasons for selling are myriad. I agree that rising interest rates are being blamed as being largely responsible by the media and individual investors alike but don't be fooled; Institutional investors have been unloading their stock on us unsuspecting sheep since January.

As far as I am concerned we are here on this thread to do one thing; Post trades and information useful to determining successful trading strategies. I'm not opposed to discussing anything that can help us do that including politics but lets be sure to not stray completely into political debate alone.

Lets stick with trading and trading strategy here please.

I certainly don't have all the answers. My trading needs lots of improvement especially where it concerns cutting my losses early.

What I do know is most of us individual investors are holding a lot of losers right now in stocks that institutional selling has been largely responsible for causing those losses. If they aren't buying then we should not be buying either.

This is no longer a bull market rally where buying every dip will be rewarded. Until we see high volume institutional accumulation its a market that will be sold on every rally attempt.
