Day's low was 634p - 12% off 720p intraday high - before a rapid rebound.
I imagine a certain A&L director by the name of Stuart Dawkins is staying close to the screen today. Last week he exercised some options at £6.32p.
A&L are feeling the pinch. They are looking very shakey these days.
No money behind the green door I guess.

Having a few quid in ISAs with A&L anyone think it's time to transfer or are we safe for a while yet?

I wonder if this "share buy back" strategy is the mechanism by which banks are buoying up their share prices?
Aren't such transactions usually widely reported? What if a cartel of banks were to start buying each-others' stock? Would it be fraudulent to disguise this?

Might it be that people wanted to dump A&L shares faster than A&L could buy them up in order to present an artificially high share price?

Alliance & Leicester said it knows no reason why its shares fell more than 6 pct in midday trade, and said it is still successfully raising funds when needed and is continuing to buy back its own shares.

What is the meaning / implication / point of a share buy-back?

QUOTE
...the motivation behind a buy-back is critical, and they tend to be polarised between those that genuinely reflect a company's good health and those that are cynical moves to artificially support the shares of struggling companies.
Even the most generous buy-back programme is not worth the candle if it is designed to draw attention away from situations such as stagnant financial results, a difficult business restructuring, aborted acquisitions or a decline in the profitability of key markets.

According to share transaction figures on their corporate website, they've bought over 10 million of their own shares since 1st August. That's 2.5% of the issued stock in less than 4 months.
