Sorry guys (Ank, safe) don't agree with you.

a: best option would have been to announce a sale over x period of time - use whatever excuse, ie buy a mansion, mistress, etc.

b. 2nd best option - make a bulk sale at or above market price (NOT at a discount)

c.  sell partial amounts over a short period of time to max sale price.

At least he didn't do this in the middle of the Soto BS campaign - shudder to think where we would have ended up SP wise in that case.
