Some institutional investors establish a significant position in stocks such as First Bancshares in order to find ways to drive up its value. Retail investors, on the other hand, need to know that institutional holders can own millions of shares of First Bancshares, and when they decide to sell, the stock will often sell-off, which may instantly impact shareholders' value. So, traders who get in early or near the beginning of the institutional investor's buying cycle could potentially generate profits.
