RE: WHY WHY WHY Another Why might be because this individual bought at much higher levels, he may feel that he needs a tax write off. the markets have been doing very well over the last 10 months and capital gains may have become a problem. Rather than checking with mgmt, the seller may be just selling to take care of a cap gain problem. Just a guess, but knowing what is in store here or at least having a good idea, it is the EOR buyers who will have the cap gain problem next year.
