Stocks with a large percentage of Institutional Investors

How can I find the list of stocks that have the largest percentage of institutional ownership? It seems that they would be the ones that would be more likely to suffer sudden losses if a correction occurs, because they would start bailing out all at one time. Is my logic correct ?

I searched several different ways on the net, but I didn't find anything. I am not going to look up all S and P 500 stocks. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Have you tried Yahoo Finance? By the way, 27% institution ownership is on the low side unless they have a large percentage of insider ownership.

Yeah, it is closer to 67%. I guess the resource I found just listed the major stockholders...I just added them up.


What do you think......in a declining market.......do you think that companies with a large percentage of institutional ownership will do better or worse in a declining market?

Will the institutions hold their investments longer than individuals and retain stability and share price? Or do you think that they will get antsy and dump .5% or 1% of the stock in a few days?
 
I don't think that number is important. A stock will still tumble with daytraders and with big instituitions it takes a while to liquidate all that stock when they do they plunge the stock further so why even bother at all... Most likely they'll just absorb the bad news unless it's something huge.
