Loss of confidenceLoss of confidence surly exists with AOT in several ways. Focusing on only the recent trading patterns from .91, to this weeks elevator ride...confidence in buying should and is red flaged by the lack of any resemblence of a natural market! The basic laws of supply and demand are lost and only manipulated by the darkside. To think that most sellers have long left AOT...maybe the smart ones...so supply should be tight. Do investors who have "invested" in AOT sell when it certainly is possible that even a lowball bid could come in? (expected, low). Or, this close to commercial production? NOPE!!! Othere near term mines coming on line have taken off and they are farther out by a few quaters than AOT. The market has abandoned Derek and the offer to come will reflect that in my view. All in my view. The value of strong management can't be over stated!!! jmo
