Does anyone know who the culprit was for the shortage of ASEs in the near past?

What I heard was a few big institutions (like JPMorgan, et al) that bought them for themselves. But who really knows? Someone is buying them up... And I presume that when they're done buying, we'll then see the price skyrocket.

Just for the record, I believe that between 2016-2018 we'll see a steady (overall) climb in prices/values.

I saw that in a couple blogs as well, but I also saw news reports in 2012 that blamed JP Morgan and others as well.
