it seems very few people saw what I wrote earlier today on the subject of Vaneck:-
Indeed - there is no change in the stated position for Vaneck. This leads to two observations:-
1) The 1.55Million increase in their position, reported by them as done and dusted on Monday, would have corresponded to trades that should have taken place last Friday. No such trades have been reported ... yet.
2) The 2.2Million trade yesterday at 25.568p looks like a worked Buy - this appears not to have anything to do with Vaneck and may instead be associated with the 2x1 Million Buys appearing last Thursday, which also do not have anything to do with Vaneck (the recently acquired 'Large Buyer').
....
So we are yet to see the full extent of the Market Makers manipulation of the trading reports yet and yet despite this there is evidence of another large buyer, in addition to Vaneck appearing. It would also seem clear that Vaneck have again loaned their shares out for shorting, and that this is the origin of the large number of quite obviously aggressive 'sells' yesterday - those shares will have to be bought back, and when they are the SP could be a lot higher.
