Not sure what is driving (or/not driving) the action today.....although broader markets seem to be getting
lots of pressure from LOW volume (bears controlling)
going into holiday week.
As mentioned, over the years, I have communicated a
number of times.....most of which were w/ Monish.
Although I found him to be timely, polite and responsive.....
I also found that direct answers to questions like that ie.
specific buyback date(s) ----------- DID NOT get any response.
However, I would encourage you (and others) to keep the communication lines open......can't hurt.
Sorry....wish I had more insight, but CHINA (the ticker) is just not on my radar screen much anymore.
