It is always easy to look at any investing decision from hindsight. When we hold off on buying a stock or sell a stock at the wrong time, it can feel crappy when looking at the loss. Every investor will somehow face losses in one way or another when the stock market indexes slide $Dow Jones Industrial Average(.DJI.US)$, $Nasdaq Composite Index(.IXIC.US)$, $S&P 500 Index(.SPX.US)$ or stocks tank for whatever reasons. No investor will escape losses, but every investor...

The newly updated Star Institutions feature on moomoo  allows us to rely on a myriad of tools available to help us make better informed decisions. Here, Form 13F is an important tool where we could use as information before making an investment decision. What is most impressive with Star Institutions is that we could now access the position data of almost 6000 AMCs as a guide for our own investing strategies. This information gives us a look at the holdings of various AMCs. With that in mind, we would be able to use the information to draw conclusions how the different AMCs approach the market. Not only are the AMCs savvy investors, their fund size alone renders them the power to move the market. As such, buying and selling similar stocks might make sense as an investing strategy. When we are researching any AMC that has a significant track record of consistently delivering market-beating returns, we could study how the AMC has invested and what assumptions that it is making about the market. Therefore, by following suit, we may have a chance to achieve similar results, but on a much smaller scale. Nevertheless, we should not assume that just because an AMC has invested in a stock, it is always a sure winner. Moreover, the AMC has already executed its trades by the time it filed Form 13F, which implies that the stock may not be a good investment by the time the document was filed as it was when the trade was made. Despite these caveats, the information found on Star Institutions allow us to see what stocks different funds have added to their portfolios and what they have unloaded. Either way, this could be a useful way to at least begin thinking about investing ideas. Best of all, the information gives a detailed portfolio snapshot of different AMCs, all regularly and for free on Star Institutions. Notwithstanding its limitations, using such information allows us to find out what stocks the smart money is buying or selling and this could be a helpful way to get some great investing ideas.

It is a good practice to examine insider sales for companies that are of interest to investors. Some occasional selling is routine, as many insiders obtain a huge portion of their compensation in the form of stock and therefore have to sell shares to generate cash. While insiders unloading a large portion of their shares can be seen as a red flag, the massive insider selling by CEOs of companies like $Microsoft(MSFT.US)$, $Amazon(AMZN.US)$ do not necessarily indicate that the companies are in trouble. CEOs may sell their shares from time to time for personal reasons that are unrelated to a company's short term or long term prospects. The higher multiple, together with other macro headwinds like supply chain constraints, inflation and the Omicron variant could have convinced the CEOs to sell off some of their shares. In general, investors should be more concerned with insider sales of struggling companies rather than hugely successful ones $Microsoft(MSFT.US)$, $Amazon(AMZN.US)$. Even the massive selling may not indicate that the long term prospects of the company have shifted. As such, it does not make sense for investors to sell off $Microsoft(MSFT.US)$ just because of the recent huge insider sale by the CEO. Instead, investors should pay more attention to the long term growth opportunities in its expansion of the ecosystem and cloud growth.
