    New U.S. SEC rules to call on hedge funds, endowments to disclose votes

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 06:46 AM PDT

    WASHINGTON/BOSTON, Sept 29 (Reuters) - The top U.S. securities regulator on Wednesday will propose requiring large hedge funds and endowments to disclose how they vote on executive pay, bringing this clutch of influential investors in line with other top funds that have made their pay votes public for a decade.

    The changes proposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will also include mandates for investors to provide more details about how share lending affects proxy voting and to make certain reports machine-readable, an SEC official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

    Together the changes from the Democratic-led agency are meant to bring more transparency to shareholder annual meetings, partly by implementing rules mandated by the Dodd-Frank financial reforms of 2010.

    If approved by a majority of the five-member commission on Wednesday, the rule changes would be subject to a 60-day public comment period before further action.

    Among S&P 500 company CEOs average total pay rose 52% to $12.18 million in 2020 from $8 million a decade earlier, according to compensation consultant Farient Advisors.

    Among other things Dodd-Frank mandated shareholders get the chance to cast so-called "say-on-pay" advisory votes on executive compensation, which have put a focus on CEO pay at many corporate annual meetings for the past decade.

    The votes, combined with the disclosures that big mutual fund firms have filed since 2004 via Form N-PX, had already brought scrutiny to the biggest asset managers. read more

    But SEC Democratic Commissioner Allison Lee told an industry audience in March that the Form N-PX disclosures are too unwieldy to show retail investors how their money is voted and because they currently are not filed by certain investment firms. read more

    Separately, some managers have given up their rights to vote in exchange for fees when they lend out shares to short-sellers. While this can cut costs for investors, it has also changed the outcome of corporate elections, according to proxy solicitors.

    Industry groups say that if the SEC's proposals prove too costly, those burdens would be passed on to fund shareholders. They also said the success of the SEC's rule change may depend on how quickly vendors can adapt to machine-readable technology.

    Critics of the say-on-pay rule, including its co-author, say it did little to slow the growth of rewards for top U.S. executives.

    Top asset managers still overwhelmingly back executive pay, according to new data from researcher Insightia showing that during the 12 months ended June 30 three of the largest fund firms each supported management on pay about 95% of the time, roughly the same as the prior period.

    Stock Market EXPERTS and ANALYSTS- do you believe in them?

    Posted: 30 Sep 2021 02:18 AM PDT

    It seems like half the articles about the stock market in both social and mainstream media quote experts and analysts. On CNBC and FOX Business, these experts, analysts, and insiders are treated like royalty and the anchors hang on their every word.

    For years and years, the experts have been trying to scare us and tell us the stock market boom is ending and to expect very low returns going forward. Also, every time we have a few bad days on Wall Street there are tons of experts writing articles saying a bear market is coming.

    When all the predictions of an imminent bear market prove wrong the financial media keeps bringing these experts on and never call them to task for their previous crazy predictions.

    What do you think of stock market experts and why do they get so much press?

    Popular post regarding ‘timing the market’ a while ago

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 07:57 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    I remember seeing a post here sometime within the past year where someone ran a hypothetical analysis of three investors; one that only invested at the peak, one the invested every week, and one that only invested at the trough of the market. The conclusion was just another piece of evidence that time in the market beats timing the market. I work at a wealth management firm as an intern and this analysis is very related to a current project I'm working on. Would anyone happen to know where to locate this Reddit post?

    Can swing traders profit from shares that have a high institutional ownership?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 02:36 PM PDT

    Howdy,

    As a swing-trader, my favorite play is to short stocks that have recently exploded in value. For example, today, $ORN, has shot up over 30% in after-hours trading.

    When I view the statistics associated with who owns it, I noticed that 74.6% is owned by institutions, the "smart money."

    I want to capitalize on investors being overly euphoric in pumping up the share prices so that I can capitalize on them as I short it. Am I better off shorting stocks that have lower institutional ownership?

    The Bear Signals of 2021/2022

    Posted: 29 Sep 2021 05:24 AM PDT

    While the recovery from COVID-19 continues it seems that there a significant headwinds going forward for the next year.

    Shortages - why so many across so many commodities:

    1) Lumber 2) Cardboard and Packaging Materials 3) Resins 4) Steel 5) Natural Gas 6) Coal 7) CO2 8) Chips - major impact on auto production 9) Labor

    China - a mess unfolding? 1) Evergrande and other indebted property developers 2) Power crunch

    The shortages, low interest rates and money printing are leading to significant inflation.

    The shortages especially chips are severely impacting and limiting growth, derailing industrial activity and expected to last another year.

    Lots of risk in China the world's second largest economy.

    I am really not seeing buy opportunities and given the current conditions I'm looking to start selling.
