Autobots...28 Feb 2024 13:18
I think I may have hit on the substance behind all the Autobot trades which have been disrupting the SP, dominating volumes and generally pushing the price down on weaker days...
I've been monitiring Morningstar's list of Mutual funds and how they have varied and one thing I noticed was the large number of MSCI funds...
So what is MSCI? Well...here they are...
https://www.msci.com/
And here's what they do...
"A suite of large, mid and small cap indexes designed to accurately represent and measure global equity markets as they evolve, within a single framework."

And then noticed that Blackrock are their biggest 'licensee'
https://www.msci.com/documents/10199/1719b1e7-9108-4dc1-99ce-ed55adad95f7
"With over 650 ETFs2 tracking MSCI indexes globally, more ETFs track MSCI’s indexes than those of any
other index provider. "
Now as we know, tracker 'funds' have to be very active, which might well explain the multitude of relatively small trades...
And of course SOLG would not only be affexcted by the trackers having tgo follow the SOLG SP, but also the MSCI Mining indexes would have to do the same...
But as I have said before....the volumes are pretty insignificant for such a large number of trades, so when do MSCI and the various Mutual MSCI licensed funds decide it is not worth having SOLG as a core stockj...?
If they do, volumes and numbers of trades must drop and therefore the SOLG SP would then once again represent the true underliying trade patterns of institutions and PIs...
And given that nobody is selling (unless MSCI are unwinding), surely the SP will start to trade upwards again...
Then its just a matter of hitting resistance levels and not have the bots trashing the SP simply because it has hit trading resistance, therefore allowing it to break through and gather momentum.
Then all you need is a constant flow of good news and we'll soon be back at 20p...
