Anyone know what caused the big fluctuation yesterday at and then after market close? It dropped from $32.19 down to $31.86 and then back up to $32.19 numerous times. I bought 175 shares at $31.79. Went back up for a bit, then back as low as $31.62 in pre-market. Back up a little now.

Can't find any news to attribute it to, so curious if anyone else saw something. It doesn't typically make such large leaps back and forth like that.

PSA: Might want to watch and think about getting in on it again.

Government is still trying to block the deal with Time Warner.

Ah, okay. I was thinking it could be related to that, but hadn't seen anything stating it. Thank you!

Almost tempted to try and sell when it jumps and buy back even lower. It hit $31.58 a few moments ago. Problem is, it's a crapshoot. More likely to just lose my position altogether.

It's been slowly dropping this entire calendar year from highs north of $39. You expecting a bounce back soon? I know a lot is contingent on the deal with Time Warner.

Even if it stays at current price, it's like a CD with 6.1% dividend.

Believe the governments decision to appeal the merger is weighing on the stock. They need growth during earnings to end this.

Yeah, I knew it was responsible for it falling a bit, but wasn't expecting to see this level of tumble.

When do they release this info?
