Someone posted a similar question on another forum the other day. The answer was one I hadn't thought about, but makes sense.

Big guys need a rising market in order to be able to sell at all. You and I can sell or buy whenever we want, but a big insto that say wants to move from LGL to NCM, or to bonds, pay wages, buy a small country etc can't just sell when it is convenient to them. They have to wait for enough buyers or make a huge loss.

The reason for the sale may not be market related at all. Simply someone needs 10 mill or so cash.
