sls and I had a good discussion with diverse opinion going on.

Just to make a correction, "Directors" did not sell. It was the parent which was selling.

Now my assumption was because they were in margin as they had to buy extra during a mandatory offer (if my memory is correct) and they had to clear.

This was a good one to have had when prices were much lower and good dividends declared. Now profits are lower so don't expect same dividends to continue. A lot of income came from the lending business. Now they have increased warehouse capacity through new warehouse. But till they utilize it fully, it won't perform at optimum level.

I don't hold ASIY anymore and have not studied this deeply. Comment above just from my memory.
