What a jerk!!! Leave it to a house to pour salt on an open wound. These tools have done the same to many stocks over the years. Then when they depress the price of a stock enough they buy back in hordes. Bloody manipulating jerks
Could it be that ARU just doesn't fit the fund's criteria for growth? Most funds have specific criteria, and we may have fallen below their threshold. I don't know, I'm just saying it may have been an automatic thing. No ulterior motives, just a straightforward business decision.
Right now the primary factor in analyzing ARU is political risk, not growth. If I was managing a growth fund, I'd have taken some off by now, given that it's been dead money for a year and the politics are still there.
