RE:Friday1M shares today (all exchanges) following 4M on Friday. This buying interest is not small potatoes.
Interestingly, the 10% 10/31/15 convertible debentures have not traded since 4/15 - it seems that there is a real impasse between the buyer (won't pay more than $90) and the seller (won't sell for less than $94.50 - and rightfully so). This is a very interesting standoff. I suppose my surprise is the lack of interest in buying this debenture despite the 11+% potential total return in just 6 months (or less) if bought at $94.50. Once the company announces the buyback program it will be too late to buy anywhere close to these prices.
