Did you know?

Smart money is capital placed in the market by institutional investors, market mavens, central banks, funds, and other financial professionals.

Smart money also refers to the force that influences and moves financial markets, often led by the actions of central banks.

Smart money is invested on a much larger scale than retail investments.

Another Institutional Buy of BBBY

They're flocking like geese now. We've seen Blackrock, Bank of Montreal, Everence Capital and now Mizuho Markets Cayman LP add BBBY to their portfolio.

There's a saying in investing of "follow the smart money". Often times, institutions are privy to information retail investors don't have. It's reassuring to see large funds adding more BBBY to their portfolios.
