"LARGE shareholders disposing of their positions"

Oh, you must mean Swartz who dumped his shares after the "non-executives" and "executives" made several ballyhooed announcements about the MMP and dividends thereby creating a sweet environment in which to do so, how convenient it was.

""implied" obligation to not take any action that would IN ANYWAY damage the shareprice. "

You and your pal need to get better daily talking points from the board.
