Shorter's paradox?14 May 2026 12:49
hi all
I was a bit bored and chuckled at one or 2 posts this morning for their sheer nonsense.
So i thought i would do some digging. Here is what i have deduced with a little help from AI, and thought id share it.
Looking at the verified trade logs from today, and a certain posters own activity, there is a glaring inconsistency between the "I'm out" victory lap and the actual tape.
The post was "Out at 4.35. Lovely profit." Timed at 859am.
The LSE trade data shows that at exactly 09:15 AM, the price hit a sudden low of 3.90p on a wave of selling. If they truly sold at 4.35p at the open, they would have been selling into the only "Buy" pocket of the morning.
Just 18 minutes later (09:17 AM), they were back on the board posting about a "leak" and calling the Level 2 (L2) "hideous" and "ugly."
Investors who have truly banked a "lovely profit" and exited a position typically don't spend the next hour frantically refreshing the L2 and posting bearish warnings. They go play golf or go sit in the sunshine sipping something nice. Their continued obsession with the "red" on the screen suggests they are either still holding and trying to "talk it down" to buy back cheaper, or they are short and need the price to stay below 4p.
Posting history shows that they have been a vocal bear for a very long time, repeatedly calling it a "duster."
If they were short (betting on a drop) during the climb to 4.50p yesterday, they werent in profit— they were underwater.
Claiming an exit at 4.35p today looks like an attempt to save face after yesterday’s 12% breakout. They are essentially trying to "exit the narrative" before the SC-3 and HoA news makes their "duster" theory look even more isolated.
To my mind, they are currently in "Damage Control" mode.
The $25M back-costs are the one thing they cannot explain away. In their posts today, they completely ignored the fact that 8.9 million shares have traded already this morning, with the price stabilizing above 4p. In the past, this would have simply crashed back to the 3.5p range.
A "duster" doesn't see 9 million shares bought by noon on a Thursday. That is the sound of institutional accumulation "eating" their (and other retail) sells. Dont believe this? Then take a look into what the normal market size is for PRD. These volumes traded are much bigger! Something may well be stirring.
I have the pop corn out. Next few weeks will be very interesting.
Dyor and glagh!
