I bought AA when it was at $11.62 last September.
Then you got royally screwed. The highest price AA traded at last September was $9.93 according the historical price chart on Yahoo Finance.

The reason I looked it up was I sold AA last September and I got around $9.40/share for it and after reading your post I was kicking myself.
Back to your original question: I sold it because the short and somewhat long-term prospect for AA looks not so good in my opinion. AA depends almost exclusively on the price of aluminum and aluminum prices are 35-40% below their five year highs while other industrial metals are 10-15% below their fiver year highs.
AA won't recover until the aluminum glut passes.
