Vanguard's drop below 5% removes a passive holder from the 5%+ reporting threshold, reducing the 'locked-up' float perception. The timing after strong earnings suggests the reduction was not driven by fundamental deterioration. Monitor for further Vanguard 13G filings to see if the trend continues.
