Timken Company: Poised On Infrastructure Efforts Made Efficient And Profitable Is Seen Underpriced By Market-Makers
Summary
- Once again big institutional buy trades are the tip-off of likely price gains coming in a diffused focus industry of machinery. TKR roller-bearings are pervasive.
- The need for quick, quiet buys in an otherwise irregularly-traded stock urge Market-Maker supply (by shorting) as a demand balance to newly-interested big funds.
- An average full day’s trade of under 1/2 million shares sets this stock up as an easy block trade for the MMs to supply balance to lumpy demands.
- Best of it, the hedge-deal to protect the MM’s temporary exposure as a principal in the trade defines what are the institutional customer’s price-gain expectations.
- Just another quick moment at the trillion-$-a-day corner of Broad & Wall, NYC.
Peter Way Associates provides daily updated, near-term (3-month) price range forecasts for over 2,500 widely-held and actively-traded stocks, ETFs and market Indexes. Comprehensive results are available on the SA blog of my name.__These forecasts are derived from the way market professionals protect their own capital placed at risk while helping big-money portfolio managers adjust their holdings in multi-million-dollar "block" transactions.__ They cannot be found elsewhere.__Having these price-change prospects available on a continuous basis encourages individual investors to actively and economically build up the values of their own smaller portfolios. PWA only provides information for individual investors; it no longer manages investments for others.__Rates of portfolio capital growth being achieved by subscribers are at MULTIPLES of the growth in market averages, due to the efficient use of holding period time and the compounding of gains a number of times each year.__Risks of capital loss are protected against by insightful selection guidance and holding-period-limit disciplines. The advantages of good selection and careful timing amply cover a much smaller portion of unavoidable losses.__These Market-maker forecasts have several decades of demonstrated productivity. Earlier in the 20th century they were used by large institutional portfolios, and now in the 21st century they are available only to individual investor wealth-building portfolios. Thousands of day-by-day identifications of specific securities having consistent, odds-on profitable results rule out any likelihood of their exceptional outcomes being due to chance. Peter F.
