The problem in this situation cannot be solved by looking at past volume. Here's why: Usually the group with the offshore block DOES NOT sell into the market, they SHORT against theirposition. If the stock goes up from the short price they have the stock to cover. If the stock goes down they simply buy it back, and still have their original stock. Not a bad way to make money. If the stock goes up, you are locked into your gain, but if it goes down, you have 2 choices: 1) accept your locked in gain; or 2) cover the with buying. You win both ways. I hope this makes sense. As you can see, there is no way to determine what is going on except by the trading action over time.
