Makes sense, when is the buy back, that should also raise the price? Do you'll think there will be large sell off (market correction) sometime this fall on all stocks?
...and that is why most mom and pop investors miss the boat when they pick stocks and/or control their portfolios themselves.
They jump in and out, and miss the boat when good stocks move up they way they should. It just never happens in our timeframe, so they inevitably guess wrong. And the pro's make big returns.
Holding AAL is the only move here, and buying the dips when possible.
