## 🔍 Key Insights
### What This Module Reveals:
1. **Smart Money Positioning** — See where legendary investors are allocating capital
2. **Institutional Sentiment** — Bullish (accumulation) vs Bearish (distribution) trends
3. **Concentration Risk** — How concentrated ownership is among top holders
4. **Quarterly Flow Patterns** — Track new positions, increases, decreases, exits
5. **Whale Detection** — Identify multi-quarter accumulation/distribution patterns
### Example Use Cases:
- **Conviction Play:** If Buffett, Ackman, and Burry all increased positions → HIGH CONVICTION
- **Crowded Trade:** Top 5 holders own >50% → CONCENTRATION RISK
- **Distribution Signal:** 6pp institutional ownership drop over 4 quarters → BEARISH
- **New Position Alert:** Famous investor initiates position → WATCH LIST
