Price Outlook Analysis

Have you ever been surprised when a price of a Mutual Fund such as SMALL CAP is soaring high without any particular reason? This is usually happening because many institutional investors are aggressively trading SMALL CAP backward and forwards among themselves. Have you ever observed a lot of a particular company's price movement is driven by press releases or news about the company that has nothing to do with actual earnings? Usually, hype to individual companies acts as price momentum. If not enough favorable publicity is forthcoming, the Fund price eventually runs out of speed. So, the rule of thumb here is that as long as this news hype has nothing to do with immediate earnings, you should pay more attention to it. If you see this tendency with SMALL CAP, there might be something going there, and it might present an excellent short sale opportunity.
