"Institutional ownership brings stability to stock prices, because they don't churn stocks as frequently as individual shareholder's do. That's not speculation, it's fact. You can get that information out of any investor's book." I think you would have a hard time proving that "FACT". I hold to my original statement. Herd mentality.. When one leaves, they all tend to leave. Just a matter of who is first and who is last. No one wants to be left standing when the music stops. Thus you get a concentrated large amount of selling over a very very short period of time. Especially in the case of a stock with a small float. Takes much smaller amounts of buying or selling to move it. Why do you think everyone keeps talking about liquidity in the large cap names??
