RE: SP Some was consolidation, some of it was global news and data news and some of it no doubt was shorts too...Today it shouldn't have been hit considering most of the other iron ore stocks are up. I suspect they were allowing some shorts to cover their positions... EOD we shall see where NML is. There really was no reason behind why NML dropped off but it drops off then comes back ten fold. No news is good news and probably will see new on NML coming they never go a month without some news...JMHO
