Well do we have a bear raid, lots of sells on no news, trying to drive the share price lower so they can close those short positions for a profit. Perhaps their last chance before the inevitable rise as news starts to leak about plant completion being on schedule. :0)
I just make this stuff up, but it sounds plausible to me!!!!!!!!
or perhaps a bear trap?? Market makers encouraging shorters to take new positions before the inevitable rise.
Once those contractors come back from their christmas break they'll be raring to go to get that plant finished.
Less than 2 months now until end of February.
Remember this time next year it will be 29th December 2006 and all the problems will be history. :o)
Just like the BFC if we don't hit the February deadline. (thought I'd say it before someone else did)
