I learned all about Asher last year thru GYST and following their trades on ihub trades page. It was just like clock work. Five days after each conversion date there would be large block trades showing up with an Average type notation meaning average price received for the block consisting of numerous smaller trades. And the bid whacking would be relentless throughout the day until the large block when through to indicate the amount sold earlier in the day. The block always totaled exactly the number of share in the last Asher conversion. It was really sad to watch. I don't understand their reasoning for doing it that way. It's like they're cheating themselves out of alot of profit.
In my experience Asher isn't interested in Huge dark side runs. They basically clear paper as fast as there is volume to clear it and will take 40-50% ROI all day long.
