I'm not so sure that retail being more 'fickle'. I do know that many big firms are happy enough to sell out once they reach their target price of maybe 10-20% profit. They ensure their bonuses, minimise risk, and just move on to the next thing.
I think because retail don't have specific mandated targets to hit to get bonuses, as well as often being a bit more emotionally invested (which can be a bad thing for them), they can often be the ones more willing to hold for longer periods.
Obviously it's not a binary equation, and exceptions abound, but I'm never excited to see big firms on the registar. I do like the high net worth individuals more so, the ones with the capital, and the ability/willingness to play the long game.
Interesting question anyway, and just my musings.
Brace yourself anyway people, could be an ugly day across the board.
