About those Daily Graphs fund percentages: I noticed that the Q fund holding percentage bumped up to 8% from 7% a few weeks ago. A week later it dropped to 6%. It didn't jive with the price action - I couldn't figure out how the price action could be so positive when fund holdings dropped by 25% (8% --> 6%) After a small flurry of email with the Daily Graphs folks I think I understand the situation now. I'll just paste their latest reply: --------------->%snip>%--------------- We receive all sponsorship data from our vendor called CDA Spectrum, they provide us with weekly updates. HOWEVER, the funds are only required to report their holdings to the SEC twice a year and they can choose anytime of the year to do this as long as there is a six month span in between. This means that there can be quite a lag. Starting with Shares Outstanding. % owned by management is a calculation of that figure (not float). You have the part right about an insider position-if a single entity owns more than 5% of total shares outstanding, this will be eliminated from float as well. % of funds and % of banks is a calculation off of the float. That is the reason you may see % owned by funds and % owned by mgmt adding up to over 100%. they are calculated off of different values. --------------->%snip>%---------------
