Inst Ownership

I'm liking what I'm seeing with some of these updates to certain websites...The pps being dropped to this level and continually being held at this level are making a lot more sense.

Someone posted that iHub Inst Ownership now shows 62% which we've all probably confirmed. I also know that has changed from ~35% just a few weeks ago.

Furthermore, Morningstar also shows 62% Inst Own.

Interestingly, Blackrock Funds Managers Limited owns 31.31% just on their own, which if I recall correctly is up about 10-12% from the last time I checked.

FinViz still shows ~57% Inst Own, but that one I don't think has changed in 8-9 months+.

I still do not understand how sites like Nasdaq can show 6% Inst Own. Yahoo shows ~33%, and that has been stuck in that area for a while now. It is also kind of weird that Martin (IR) said the company estimated 20-30% Inst Own...That is the same number he gave me months ago, but I also don't believe they are able to get a real accurate picture of who owns what. The reason I don't believe this is because way back in the Naomi days, she had indicated to me via email that many Inst's are not required to report...so while they knew the ownership was out there, they couldn't be certain of the percentage so they didn't include it in their numbers.

I've contacted iHub to see where they get their numbers from. I know that this is a recent update that they have made, so I'm curious how they got their data to essentially double the Inst Own percentage in a matter of a few weeks.
