Yes if it were a mere speculative 'pump' we would be seeing a deflation by now. Profit taking is very limited. Buyers keep returning. I repeat positive news, I believe, is on the way.
As for the recent placing well Ruffer were a substantial institutional participant lobbing in exactly £1m. NOT small money for a small II. You can be sure that they would've done their DD.
One other thing about the placing, I believe it was a bit of a cock up by both FLX, the brokers and the participants. Making the placing price at a 30% discount to the prevailing SP was a BIG mistake as it sent a very negative message to the market. So I hope that in the event that they should need to raise any further capital they do not make such a silly mistake again. The company suffered and the participants (far from getting cheap shares) found themselves deeply out of pocket. Lesson learnt I hope.
