TOPIC: FOLLOWING THE SMART MONEY: WHEN DOES IT ADD VALUE?
How smart is it to follow the “smart money?” We will help answer that question with the latest research findings from the quantitative research team at Thomson Reuters. The presentation will focus on three distinct signals from the smart money crowd – ownership data, insider transactions and short interest – and will share techniques on how to extract profitable investing strategies from this information. The audience will also learn when following the “smart money” doesn’t work.
