You miss the point, which is surely true.</LOL> <LOL>The point is that institutions want to create their positions as quietly as possible so they don't drive up price.

However, once they HAVE their position, they will announce it and tout it and rate it to drive up the price so they can profit. However, and this is the point--while they are actively building their position, they want to keep the price as low as possible.

You can read about it here:
"After some institutions (such as mutual funds and hedge funds) establish a position in a stock, their next move is to tout the company's merits to the sell side. Why? The answer is to drive interest in the stock and boost the value of the share price."

Operative word: "AFTER"

"Remember, the last thing an institutional investor wants to do is call too much attention while he or she is in the midst of building a position."
