I have been following day trading charts for about a month with following observations and opinions 1) There is a clear pattern of a major sell at the start of each trading day followed later by large sale orders as (should) B shares work their way back up. Clearly someone large is selling out of B share position. That leads me to conjecture it is from most likely GenRe. Most older institutions hold A shares and it would be silly right now to take advantage of 30 B's for each A option -- given current premium for A's. And the disciplined volume sell of B's is not copied within A trading patterns. 2) we are a very brittle stock - very low volume traded as a percent of outstanding shares. So even while the majority of trades are buys, they are being wiped out by the large (for us) sales 3) I think it is a personal sale - my only rationale being that it is silly to sell right now (so near to earnings report). regards
