John: That may be so, but I read somewhere recently, that the number of institutions owning the 57% - as it was then - was the largest ever. It has been rising in the last eight weeks. It is good that the percentage is only in the 50's because that leaves lots of scope for an increase. It is always a problem when too high a percentage of a company is owned by institutions because it renders it vulnerable to a sell-of by the "herd" when they decide to turn.
