the downside with institutional ownership is that they generally won't whine but will sell in a minute

As opposed to individual ownership that will not only whine endlessly and also sell in a minute? Just kidding.

I think you're overstate the role of the individual investor, the most disciplined of whom actually benefit the most from increased institutional ownership.

I also think you have a narrow view of the wide range of investment disciplines at the institutions. Hedge funds, for example, have been around a long time but only became popular during the last decade.
