On 2026-09-01, I shared a qualified observation that domestic institutions seemed to have timed Indian stock markets better than foreign institutions. I cautioned that “smart foreign money” is not always right about timing and is often wrong; the post included no supporting figures or analysis.

The captured post does not identify the institutions, comparison period, or measure of market timing behind this impression. It links to https://t.co/9WWasbKeex.

I observed that domestic seems to have done better at timing Indian stock markets, while cautioning that smart foreign money isn't always right and is often wrong. The post offered no supporting figures or analysis.

On 2022-12-22, I replied to @nikhilkamathcio with a post marked “2/2” and a link. The quoted text, also captured as a standalone post with no identified author, says FIIs tend to be momentum buyers while DIIs are more value pickers, and that DIIs have a better overall track record for people seeking to follow smart money. I cannot attribute those claims to myself from this capture or assess their evidence. The quoted post references @BO_community and a link marked “1/2”; the reply's link is marked “2/2”.
