One of my share market barometers of performance are participation of 3 major investors grouping as shown in Table No.1 below.

Based on my observation, if Institutions are the net buyers, all blue chips and CI related counters will move up. Reason: Stability in price, good dividend and long term profitability of the investment.

Usually, Retailers look at short term trading and speculative counters. The buying trends are non-predictive, bullish at one moment and can be bearish at the very next moment.

Why am I more interested in Foreign funds as net buyers? Usually, with inflow of funds from external sources, we can observed that the whole market will improve in tandem. As shown in Table No.1, only Local Retailers are net buyers at 38.83%; the market direction will very much depend on retailers confidence...

I have been publishing/updating below table No.1 for the last few days at Focus D i3 investor forum. Hopefully, this tabulation can draw the correlation of the increase of Foreign investors' fund with respect to driving the overall bullishness in local market down to penny stocks. As I have also observed of major collection at Focus D the last few days, hopefully this will also drive Retailers interest in Focus D. My typical publishing as shown in "..." below:-

"Only retailers as majority net buyer. Yesterday (20 Sept., 2021) trading status:-
