Where are the big money institutions putting their money right now?
It was mentioned in the Tycoon Report conference call that was recorded on Jan 17 that institutions either are already out of the stock market or are pulling out. That's a lot of money that has to go somewhere. Does anyone know where the money is going?

You have to be very careful in present market situation. It is better to avoid stocks with more institutional investors. We must not forget they have research team and they can identify future trend in advance. What we must do is when they try to dump stocks with big quantity we must not pick unless we identify that there is a value in the future.
There are different types of institutional investors. Some are expert in emerging stock markets. When they see that they can’t earn much here they put money on foreign stock markets. Can you believe when some small emerging markets know that foreign intuitional investors are buying any particular stocks everybody is trying to buy irrespective of fundamentals and within short time stock price has rocketed by 200%? When Institutional investors dump their holding prices will come down and individual investors will have to bear the pain.
But there are some good institutional Investors they invest for long term and they really support the stock price. I like these companies.
Then there is another category: They like to acquire other companies to reduce competition and control market. If you can identify in advance these target company you will get some capital gain. All over the world there are opportunities if you can do some research. Some institutional investors invest in agriculture and animal production related stocks and commodities.
I suggest don’t invest in some hot commodity that appreciated more than 500% last 05 years. Also you can see some institutional investors shift their funds country to country to get advantage according to situation. Time to time great bull market change from country to country. Try to identify sectors, stocks, commodities and countries in advance before institutional investors come into the scene. For example recently some Institutional investors started to invest in agriculture sector and in some emerging countries.

These are the likely investments by the Financial institutions:
1. Commodity investments like Gold and Platinum.
2. Investments in Growth economies like India, China, Brazil, Russia and other Eastern European economies.
3.Cash.
4. Many strong companies will be taking over weaker rivals and thus 2008 will see many such financing taking place.

I would take a look at the "industry bell curve." The bell curve shows you which sectors are bearish and which are in bull signals. If they are on buy signals now institutions are buying.
I would also look at the health care sector. I wrote a article for Seekingalpha about how money moves into the health care sector during economic slowdowns. Her is the link.

As well move out of the down turn I would look for institutions to find a haven in Financial, Retail, and tech.

That's what is happening now. The institutions have given the stocks to the individual investors and picking up their profits. Once the institutions decide that enough is enough, they will start buying again and we will see a turn around. Watch the internal signals and wait for your bull confirmed on large volume. More than likely, that's where the institutions are putting their money until such time as they see enough profit to sell again.
