Hi Robin,

I think % institutional sponsorship is the great paradox of CANSLIM =
investing. On one hand, you *want* good sponsorship, as the CANSLIM =
method essentially rides their coattails. On the other, you don't want =
an overabundance, as the stock tends to take a dive when the =
institutional crowd puts on its herd-mentality-cap. I personally rank % =
ownership *way* down in the list when evaluating the stock. If the =
fundamentals are sound, the technicals are sound (and it's not a late =
stage base), and you can make a good case for the stock's continued =
growth earnings/revenues via your due diligence, then I wouldn't kick =
out a candidate simply because it's 30% owned. All else being equal =
however, % ownership might make a good tie breaker between two good =
candidates.

  I'm not sure if this is a fair observation or not...

  A lot of the stocks that I'm looking into because
  I like the charts (and have decent fundamentals...)
  are coming up with institutional ownership well over
  30%. Is this a common phenomena (the funds buy the
  stuff with the good fundamentals just as I'm looking=20
  for...) or is this made more of an issue because
  there are not a whole lot of great choices out there
  so the institutions are more prevalent in the ones
  that look favorable....
