Information Fork Overview
In the era of information explosion, how to filter valuable content from massive information and form unique market insights is the key to investment success. The “Information Fork” research method helps you understand the market more comprehensively and deeply through multi-angle cross-validation, mining institutional thinking and investment opportunities.What is the “Information Fork” Research Method?
“Information Fork” is an innovative information analysis method that forms a cross-validated research framework by combining multiple information sources and analysis perspectives. This method is particularly suitable for studying the behavior and thinking of institutional investors, as institutional decisions are often influenced by multiple factors, and single-angle analysis is difficult to fully understand their logic.Core Principles
The core principle of the Information Fork research method is: Improve the credibility of information and the accuracy of analysis through mutual confirmation of multiple independent information sources. In the investment field, this means we need to pay attention to:- Market data (such as price, trading volume, capital flow, etc.)
- Fundamental information (such as financial data, industry trends, etc.)
- Market sentiment (such as investor surveys, social media discussions, etc.)
- Policy environment (such as macroeconomic policies, industry regulation, etc.)
Why Do We Need “Information Fork” Research?
In the current market environment, especially in the context of China’s economic downturn in 2025, Information Fork research has important value:1. Coping with Information Overload
There is a lot of information and viewpoints in the market every day. Information Fork research helps you filter out truly valuable content and avoid being disturbed by noise.2. Identifying Institutional Intentions
Institutional investors often hide their true intentions through various means. Information Fork research helps you identify the true trading behavior and strategies of institutions through multi-dimensional analysis.3. Improving Decision Quality
Through cross-validation, Information Fork research can improve the credibility of information and the accuracy of analysis, thereby helping you make more informed investment decisions.4. Discovering Market Opportunities
Information Fork research can help you discover neglected investment opportunities in the market, especially in cases of extreme market sentiment.How to Use Grok to Search X Platform Data

Let’s understand the specific application of Information Fork research through a practical case:Case: 2025 Institutional Defensive Strategy Analysis
Research Background: China’s economy is facing downward pressure in 2025, with GDP growth expected to be between 4.5-5% and relatively tight liquidity. In this environment, institutional investors generally adopt defensive strategies, but the specific forms and logic vary. Information Fork Research Steps:- Data Dimension: Collect data such as price trends, trading volume changes, valuation levels of major indices and industries
- News Dimension: Track macroeconomic data releases, policy changes, industry news and other information
- Perspective Dimension: Use Grok to search discussions on “institutional defensive strategies 2025” on X platform, and collect views from institutional investors and analysts
- Behavior Dimension: Analyze public fund quarterly reports, northbound capital flows, block trading data, etc. to understand the actual trading behavior of institutions
- Cross-validation: Cross-validate information from various dimensions to identify common trends and viewpoints
- Data shows that institutions have generally increased cash allocation (average 50-60%) and reduced holdings of high-valued technology stocks
- News shows that institutions have high expectations for policy easing, especially for RRR cuts and interest rate cuts
- Perspective analysis found that institutional investors generally focus on inflation pressure and geopolitical risks
- Behavior data indicates that institutions are gradually laying out low-valued, high-dividend defensive sectors
