RE:1 million shares on the ASKI understood that PTA had a share buy back program in place.....did the authorization period end? If so, I would be tempted to start it up again to take this seller(s) out. Investors get frustrated when a stock should be trading higher based on the fundamentals, but constantly trades lower. Frustration leads to selling, and that's not good. If suitors are interested in PTA it would be better to get the price up now in order to get a higher premium. Even if there are no suitors, get the price up and drive up the demand. Just my 2 cents.
