Deliberate manipulation or just a misunderstanding?How does one tank a stock only to be able to buy gobs of it at lower prices? (Rhetorical)
I predict that this deal will still go through and Barrick will reap the rewards. Suddenly the key players are issuing press releases stating that there is a miscommunication? Yeah right!
Newmont has so much to lose here and I bet phones have been ringing off the hook at Barrick today with Nemont stock price dropping.
Time will tell.
