Is there an alternative to computershared.net that keeps track of all the shares owned by insiders, institutions, etfs, retail etc? I thought Computershared did a fantastic job of keeping up to date numbers, but since it went down I haven’t been able to find a good alternative.
The reason I ask is because it disappeared rather quietly, and considering how important share counts are, I thought it critically important to follow.
The latest info I have is from May 29th, 2023
- 15% institutions
- 12% mutual funds
- 10% etfs
- 13% insiders
- 5% insider stagnant
- 17.1% pure drs
- 10.9% directstock
- .1% operational efficiency
This gives a grand total of 81.6% of shares owned.
I find it curious that the website went down when ownership was hitting these levels. VW’s short squeeze was 62.6% ownership of total shares by Porsche and Lower Saxony, and 32% were “owned” through options by Porsche. Northern Pacific Railway had 94% of its total shares owned by James Hill and JP Morgan.
If there are 18.4% shares remaining, that equates to 56,074,000 shares. At a current price of $16.36, someone would need roughly 16.36*56,074,000 = $974,370,640 dollars to buy the remaining float. Who, or which company has that?
The stonk tracker at https://gme.crazyawesomecompany.com still shows the remaining float that hasn’t been locked. But I miss the pie chart that computershared.net used to have.
It sucks that it shut down.
I agree I think it was because bad actors on wall street didn’t want the peasants to know that certain groups are increasing their ownership.
If we saw insiders, or institutions, or mutual funds suddenly buy a lot more, we would be able to look deeper into that and learn things. They threw a wrench into that.
I’d love to see someone else make a duplicate website that does the same thing.
Was there any comment from the site owner hinting at “wall street throwing a wrench into that”?
