Institutionals out, retail in.
Bank of America Securities said clients resumed selling U.S. stocks last week after briefly βbuying the dip,β led by institutional and hedge fund outflows.
Despite a 1.7% gain in the S&P 500, $2.1 billion in single-stock outflows outweighed $1.2 billion of ETF inflows. Institutions, who were big buyers the week before, became the largest sellers, while hedge funds extended their selling streak to six weeks. Retail investors kept buying, focusing on mid-cap stocks.
I have previously introduced Lulu Rouge. Then Ninna Nanna pops into suggested, a remix by Trentemoller, another artist I've been listening for years.
Such distinct, dark, subtle atmosphere these guys can summon. A lullaby of sorts.

$AAPL - APPLE REPORTEDLY ENTERS ROBOTICS MARKET
Apple is expanding smart home production in Vietnam with BYD, making devices like a HomePod-style display and a motorized tabletop robot, expected in 2026β2027.
Morgan Stanley says the move brings AI into the physical world and positions Apple to compete with other major tech players in robotics.
Can't do AI, but sure will do robotics.
Reminiscent of Zuck chasing fads. (What's the return on that metaverse, from 2020-2022 capex?)
$AAPL
AI video generation is a tailwind for legacy media, but goes against the typical social media user preferences
Bought tracker position into $ALAB at $171.28, won't be adding to portfolio due to <0.5% size.
AI networking player, 100%+ profitable growth in recent quarters.

Timmy-the-buyback-Cook is said to be leaving Apple.
AKO1L 24-25 FY Audited annual profit: 17.7M
Dividend policy: 20% net income and hence previously anchored yield expectations
AGM draft proposal to allocate bit over 100% 24-25FY profit:
-14.99M dividend (~85%)
-3M for buybacks - 18 months, 1.5-1.9 EUR range, up to 5% share capital; YTD EUR 5.12M stock turnover. So proposed buyback is very notable.
-IMO management sees strong Q1 and possibly Q2. Wheat price is subpar, but chicken, main profit driver for 24-25FY, is still up there.
Stock has been on a tear lately.
