139 – Generating alpha from institutional activity with Jason Bodner

Welcome to the first podcast episode for 2018, happy new year!

I hope you had a great Christmas or holiday season and all the best for 2018.

In this podcast episode we’re investigating the impacts that large institutions can have on the markets, especially on stocks, and how certain institutional behaviours can indicate potentially big moves in prices.

Our special guest is Jason Bodner from Macro Analytics for Professionals (MAP).

You’ll hear a bit more about Jason’s background soon but his previous experience working big institutional orders has given him some valuable insights that I’m sure we can all find useful, so in our discussion today you’ll hear:

  • How institutional activity can indicate potentially big moves and the signals to look out for,
  • How the techniques of scouting out players on a sports team can apply to stock selection too,
  • 3 basic factors that can quickly identify when institutions are working a big trade, plus loads of other signals to watch for as well,
  • How mixing technical with fundamental factors can give you a more complete picture than just technical or fundamentals alone,
  • Plus much more.
