RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:As we head into the last couple hours of the trading week...Normally, you are correct that outsized amounts of bids indicate the market makers are scrambling for shares at lower prices to match against the higher priced asks. In today's case, I think it boiled down to Sprott on his weekly wrapup plugging his investment in SPA once again.
Many folks listen to the wrap up in the afternoon, so the feel of the market could change drastically by the afternoon.
Shares across the PM sphere were weak yesterday due to profit taking, but we've had our quick consolidation and now the shares look poised for another ascent come next week.
