I agree that a restrospective quarterly "snapshot" is not very helpful.

The reason I asked about the 5% and Insider institutional deadline being 15 days and the rest 45 days is that when I started to post on this subject about a year ago I made reference to those categories. But I was relying on my memory from a time when I used to follow institutional ownership avidly with respect to a certain IPO in 1997-2000. But another poster(s) said I was wrong, so I dropped it. Instead I have said that the institutional ownership quarterly snapshot is based on reports submitted within 15 days from the end of the quarter but that the "snapshot" continues to change as late returns arrive. In fact the daily or weekly changes to the "snapshot" don't change it very much.

However, I was not entirely comfortable with this explanation. Then someone on here mentioned that there were two deadlines - 15 days and 45 for the two categories. This would explain the changes to the "snapshot" better than the rather vague "late reports" I had been using.

I suppose we should look up the exact rules but its not on my list of priorities.
