I updated the table on institutional holdings from DailyStocks this
morning. The following are the results sorted by percentage
holdings from highest to lowest. The three numeric columns are also
added and averaged. For a few of these stocks at the top of the
list, there isn't much room for the average public to buy and sell
these shares. Maybe another way of saying it is that the public is
at the mercy of the institutions to set the prices.

Another way of looking at the data is to sort by the number of funds
holding the stock from highest to lowest.
