Re: WDC/QNTM institutional ownership. According to Market Guide's ratio comparisons, institutional ownership for WDC and QNTM are about the same: 83.17 for WDC, 86.75 for WDC. However, when I bought WDC, I was troubled by its very (too) high institutional ownership: about 95% at that time. Looks as if the "big boys" have been dumping it heavily. Incidentally, one more advantage of QNTM (which I do NOT own) over WDC (and over just about any other company you could mention) is its extraordinarily good free cash flow (WDC's is just average). In other words, QNTM should be in a much better position to ride out the hard times. That is, if you don't consider the debt -- debt/equity 0.5 for QNTM, and 0.0 for WDC. jbe
