Flydoc,
If you take a steady, attentive look at the chart for this year, you will see the SP grinding down till the end of April. Right through that month it was constantly below 10 cents. My time-frame was a bit on the early side, but the fact is that the first signs of a move up were seen in mid-May and now, this month, the SP has moved into a quite different range, with the mid-price around 50 cents. That should be telling chart-watchers something. Besides that, the news out on the 10th was definitely, IMO, a positive sign for the future of AMNG.
To answer your concluding question, yes, I see good reason to be hopeful.
