Before looking at the data below for GameStop Corp. (NYSE) Stock – $GME, please read the following in case you are not aware of the relevant information:-

The positions of institutions shown below are as they were at the end of last quarter (2022-Mar-31 in this case). You might quite rightly think that this information may already be out of date. The problem is, retail investors have no other choice because the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) allows institutions to disclose their positions up to 45 days AFTER the end of each quarter. Funds have up to 60 days to do the same.

ALL financial managers of companies who use U.S. Postal service and have discretion on at least $100 million USD must file the relevant SEC form (13F, NPORT-P etc.) to notify any change (in position or value), at the end of every quarter.

Another point to note is that institutions and Funds do NOT have to disclose their trades DURING the quarter; they only have to disclose their positions and values, as they were on the Last day of Previous Quarter, i.e. March 31, Jun 30, September 30 and December 31. They also do NOT have to disclose the Options’ Expiry dates or Strike prices.

Also, be aware that many companies use computers to do their trading; computers are pre-programmed to take specific actions under certain circumstances. Experienced traders can actually see it by observing live charts and price action.

Generally, institutions take a long term view of their investment in a company and usually hold their positions over a period of several years, unless something really bad happens with the company or the sector.

It will be interesting to see what the institutions have been doing during the second quarter of 2022. Institutions are obliged to disclose by mid-August, and Funds by end of August – their positions as of 2022-Jun-30.

I intend to make another similar post after both Institutional shareholders and Funds have filed their positions – by end of August, 2022.

Not financial advice as I am not a financial advisor. Do your own research and do what you think is best for you.
