I'm just parroting what the talking heads say. But there are small cap mutual funds. So it really doesn't make much sense, does it?
I guess when you have a TV camera on you, you gotta say something.

large funds normally avoid small floats because they can cause a huge runup, but then who to sell too at the inflated prices would take to round up a large enough position (when you see the largest investors in the big caps they have millions of shares). even notice even on large float stocks if a large institution dumps, the effect it has on the underlying stock? although smaller funds do participate in small floats.

Big investors can come in on a private placement.
Once they have a stable track record, economies look stable, etc., they go for expansion and issue more stock. Insitutions buy shares or individual companies make investments. Stock comes to the float months later.
