Institutional investors are drawn to large growth companies because they need the liquidity they offer. They have great difficulty in buying and selling low market cap stocks because their actions drive the price up on purchases and down on sales. Also , while a $100,000 profit would be big news for us, for big institutions it isn't enough to bother with. The market continues to become more institutionalized, with the result that almost all of the recent gains are due to this small group of stocks. It reminds me a lot of the old "nifty fifty" and will probably end just as badly, but in the meantime I think once SAP is listed it will join this select group. Some institutional managers have already started to buy, but in the cases I have seen, appear to still be under weighted.
