Because they probably have huge losses from other stocks, along with the desperate DAX. And they have fund rules on performance. So even if they want to stay for the long haul, LT logic falls to ST fund rules and having to dig their way out of massive holes with other investments. It's just silly to claim that they're negative on AZS in all respects. No, they will have to do some ST selling to cover themselves. How long it will go on for is guesswork, but I"m betting that consistent turnaround from say Barton results, will shift it into different metrics on their little investor abacus...and things stabilise.
Only a theory but so is most other stuff in here. This is a speculative stock. That's reality. But despite paranoid theories there are explanations which are more logical than others. Even if @carmat cannot see that.
