Beware of "Institutional Holdings" Trackers - Quindell

Morning all,

A quick post from me to show how we need to be careful of websites that claim to track institutional buying/selling in equity markets.

e.g.


Reuters has QPP's institutional holding level at 20.44% with a net three month change of 26,621,650 shares (90,932,273 shares held in total by institutions):

Morningstar has this figure (by my calculations) at 10.17% (45,295,100 shares in total held by institutions) and, that i can find, doesn't even mention the recent Beach Point Capital purchase:

Conclusion: Reuters is probably a better resource for this institutional holdings information (this opinion was seconded my my mates in the city - although nothing beats seeing the actual register).


Cheers,

The Masked Stock Trader
