TYL
Since I have been reporting institutional selling in Tyler Corp, I feel I should also report some institutional buying which is going on.
Additionally, I believe that in some of my prior posts, I have been referring to these sales as 'Insider Selling'. This would be in error as the administrators of these funds are not officers of Tyler Corporation. My apologies for the error.
