    Today on CNBC (Fast Money) there was a segment about the number of retail traders buying TSLA. (Apparently very heavy retail buying)



    Does anyone know where one could find this information? It would be handy to know if buying was retail or institutional.

    On 13 Dec 2022?


    and .....

    TSLA dropped massively at abnormal volume.
    CNBC did not complete the sentence.

    On 14 Dec 2022?

    and .....

    TSLA dropped just a little after the previous day's massive drop.
    Those retail investors thought it was dirt cheap.
    CNBC did not hilite these points.

  5. Everyone on Discords and chats I use related to WSB were buying puts when it was $160. No TSLA love there.

    Edited:

    I don’t think Citadel or Susq would share their flow with the CNBC talking head.

    Tough to know but even if we had the exact repartition it wouldn’t mean anything.

    There are good retailers and bad institutionals.

    TSLA is the most liquid stock btw the SPY and the QQQ.

    Most of it might be Daytrading but you can be sure every fund that does exist has its share of TSLA just because it’s liquid AF

    We can check (MarketSmith) what fund owns it and if there is more or less funds holding over time.

    Found it on the web.
    You can see No of funds decreased on 3rd quarter

    I’d consider institutional anything trading above $100M dollar per day

    Stocks will always move in the direction that takes the most money from the most people that can least afford to lose that money.
    When that's over, the stocks reverse.
