Or they see it's share price and/or the price they are willing to pay as being under-valued somehow. I just compare it to a small business and I think the situation is analagous. If I run a blog and the market thinks my blog is worth $1,000 (the way I am running it now), then that is what it is worth. If you think I'm doing some things wrong and I am not listening to you (you're an investor in my blog) you might decide to buy my blog for $2,000 so you can right the wrongs. Maybe I like the deal so I'll sell it to you. Maybe you think with your changes you can increase the value to $3,,000 and sell it to someone else, or you rake in a hefty ROI on monthly ad dollars.
