Trading (Institutional Size)

Does any one have comments from Buffett on the % of daily volume he maxes out at when building positions/exiting a name?

 

I'd be interested to read any intelligent thoughts about this from others as well. Assume you plan to hold the name for years and aren't day trading.

 

Thank you.

This depends on how large a company you are talking about.  I'm not an institutional sized investor, yet when I was buying CASA back in 2005 or 2006, there was a week where I was responsible for the entire weekly volume. I was the only one who bought the stock for the entire week.  I no longer own it or follow it, but back then it would have a lot of 0 volume days and occasionally even a 0 volume week.

 

It's an odd feeling to buy something knowing that you're the only person on earth willing to do so.
