STOCKS | Serenity Says Retail Investors Often Lead Early Positioning in Tech Shifts

Serenity, known online as “White-Haired Stock God,” said on X that during cycles of new technology architecture shifts, retail investors often position first, while institutional capital later increases holdings and comes to dominate market pricing. According to Odaily, Serenity cited SIVE, NBIS, and RKLB as examples, saying these stocks initially had relatively low institutional ownership, but later reached record highs after institutions continued to add to positions. Serenity also said current negative commentary about companies such as Foci and HIMX may be linked to some institutions seeking liquidity and accumulating shares at lower levels. Serenity added that in recent years, negative sell-side research reports or concentrated bearish news has often coincided with periods when institutions were increasing holdings. Serenity urged investors to conduct independent research and build their own investment rationale rather than being influenced by market noise. Serenity said modern liquidity cycles in U.S. capital markets often appear as a transfer of holdings from retail investors to institutions, and that this process may not align with retail investors’ interests.
