Sometimes huge trades of that nature reflect a family of mutual funds moving the block from one fund to another. The trade is recorded as trading volume but really is just an accounting move within a family of funds. Just one speculative thought. I have absolutely no idea why such a block was traded... just throwing in one speculation!

Rory et al, No great mystery on the HOFF trade. DSND is a Scandanavian os outfit that ran into some deep do do on a project in South America. They owned a pile of HOFF shares and filed an S-3 to dump. Apparently they needed the cash. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts it was them doing the dump today. IMO Wall Street knew this and kept a cap on the stock. Now it's over. HOFF is free from the overhang and is probably free trade at much better valuations. If you want the skinny on the deal, bop on over to the Yahoo HOFF thread to read the before and after. IMO HOFF would be a good stock to own now. Fabulous growth story. These guys are the real deal.
