It's opnly my opinion skitz and may be way off the mark but as we know the buy backs timing was unfortunate. Prior to the buy back there wasn't the capacity in AMU's buyers to soak up any sellers of the stock. When a big buyer appeared (AMU) this gave the sellers an opportunity to exit as general market conditions deteriorated and people wanted to be in cash. In turn this drove the sp down. So the buy back had the opposite effect in this situation. Hence the stabilization since the buy back has stopped. All good long term though. As I say , may be way off the mark but only explaination I can come with.
