Most people's stock is held in "Street" name, not their own. Is your source taking this into account?

Barber; What url do you use to get the amount of share holders, I can find the institution numbers , but it doesn't include the shareholder number. I have long thought that would be very usefull in getting a rough idea of how liquid a stock is compared to another. As I feel if other things are equal the wider it's held the more liquid. While many share holders may leave it in house name, hence the small number for CPQ , that house name thingy should about average out percentage wise for similar stocks, & or stocks in that sector.
