There are two very suspicious details about
today's news release. 1 ) timing coincides with next weeks increase in free trading shares 2 ) Newmont sold 9.9 % of Nova's shares , so that the recipient is not officially an insider yet. The press release says that the transaction took place yesterday. Perhaps this news is intended to " Shake the Tree " , not only targeting retail shareholders , but the 12 institutions who acquired the 25 million shares and warrants back in May. This could be big money partners doing a bit of back scratching in a prelude to a takeover bid ?
