And the specialty financial company could rise even more due to its insurance and real estate services businesses. But another likely reason is Big Money lifting the stock.
So, what’s Big Money? Said simply, that’s when a stock goes up in price alongside chunky volumes. It’s indicative of institutions betting on the shares.
Smart money managers are always looking for the next hot stock. And Fidelity National Financial has many fundamental qualities that are attractive.
