Exactly that Jamesp. !
I've just been looking at the daily volumes in GGP since last February (and after that horrendous January !) and whilst we have all witnessed over the year the gradual and steady decline from 30p there are days where the daily volume in the stock has reached over 200m shares.
I will put this out there, I very much doubt if Newcrest will go for just the 5% next month. They know exactly the size and potential of Haveiron and I also doubt if we will ever be privy to the real data, we are after all just private investors and the bottom of the food chain when it comes to the world of financial markets and investing.
I think Newcrest have been accumulating shares since last year and through various means, third party entities, dark pools, sundry accounts, off balance sheet entries etc.
The JPM 'short' is a bluff, they can quite easily move stock around when and how they like, there are no market rules for them and remember this is AIM and anything and everything goes !
The strategy hereon in is just add on the tree shakes when funds allow and just sit back and let JPM do all the donkey work !!
Good luck !
