The firm receives permission from the Exchange to redistribute that security. Knowledge that those 20,000 shares no longer overhang the market, plus a little inside buying, may send the stock to $31. The firm's salesmen will then go forth and sell the stock to the public-dentists in Dubuque, porters in Portland-at the new market price. These sales will be made on an investment basis, preferably...
