Investing in the financial markets can sometimes feel like navigating a vast ocean, with the weightiest creatures, often referred to as 'whale traders,' causing the largest ripples. These big-money traders have the potential to move the markets surprisingly, and their unconventional strategies often invite intriguing investigation. In this article, we zero in on one such phenomenon - large positions taken against promising companies like Lululemon Athletica (NASDAQ:LULU) and Analog Devices (NASDAQ:ADI).
