Jan, That's an open auction. The point is that those other shares weren't for sale. Holding is part of the value equation just as much as trading is.

If the entire company were put on the block to move in a single secondary offering, the price would trade much lower. But that's not the point. If every shareholder wanted out it simply and literally wouldn't be the same company that existed before. You understand more than most that who owns the shares is as important as how the business is doing.
