Hopefully the company is buying back more shares at this price.

21,949,574 shares, down from 22,411,985 shares 2 weeks ago.

This may help explain why the share price has been holding up so well in the face of recent market turbulence.

I'm showing about 400,000 shares traded in the 2-2:30 time frame.

Latest reports have NOT been added to the inst. holdings sites. My guess is that holdings will be 69-70% when fully updated.

21,939,011shares, up around 100K from last report. They're still our biggest inst. holder.

Looking at an announcement from S&P that appears to show they are dropping SSN from their all ordinaries index as of Mar15. It's possible that this might cause some short-term downward pressure on the share price, but index selling usually doesn't affect long-term pps.
Just an fyi. -
20,640,366 shares, down over 1.3M from 21,949,574 on 2/28/2013.

Ingalls & Snyder's Q1 report shows they hold 12,698,157 AVNR shares which is a drop of 552,378 from the prior report. If you do a search on their name, you'll see that they've been selling for the last few quarters, albeit 12.7M shares is still a very hefty stake. Theirs is the 1st institutional report I've seen for Q1, but we'll be seeing the institutions report over the next month.
Sentiment: Buy

From the yearend report (page 33):
As at December 31, 2012, on a consolidated basis, the Company had approximately $38,086,000 of non-capital losses which can be applied to reduce future taxable income. In addition, the Company had consolidated exploration and development expenditures totaling approximately $50,505,000, unamortized share issue costs of approximately $988,000 and capital loss carry forwards of approximately $8,242,000 which may be available to reduce future taxable income. The exploration and development expenditures can be carried forward indefinitely. Therefore, management does not expect the Company to pay any income taxes until 2014 or later in both Canada and USA.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
So they could use that to take a pretty big whack out of future taxes.... - Reply to
why hasnt sppi announced implementation of stock buyback plan at $7?
by stockstoshort •Apr 19, 2013 7:38 AMFrom yesterday's 10Q (pg 27):
On August 10, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of our outstanding common stock through August 1, 2013. The previous authorization was for up to $25 million and covered the period through December 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we repurchased 235,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1.7 million. We have purchased an aggregate to date of $13.6 million or 1,338,055 shares. All shares of treasury stock were retired at March 31, 2013.
==================
By my calc, SPPI paid around $7.23/share for those 235,000 shares. -
I think I saw a bit less than 400K @ 3:30, and we finished with over a million. Sometimes heavy volume in the last half hour is a sign of institutional trading.

sold @ $3.31. 1:32 p.m.
I still maintain that Steel is or will be buying the 1.4M shares on the market that have been approved by the MLNK board. -
@ $3.05 2:51p.m.
