The precipitous drop in price from late '98 comes off a higher valuation for the stock that goes back for years. Thus, it's not a typical distribution or even any kind of a distribution.
The price was made to drop, over a period of a year and half, to rediculously low levels. The chart then bounces back up-- as though the drop over that year and half was the accumulation phase during which insiders bought in.
Sure enough, according to Agora [

Amazing. Any TW trader would have found this stock very interesting in late 2000. Nobody visiting this forum at that time pointed out A&P, and neither did Matt Morsa. There is no comprehensive list of analysis of 3000 stocks from a TW point of view.
