RE:22.5M Financing...If Nutall has it in his radar he won't say a thing about it on TV until he has his full position. Once he starts talking about a company, it means he is no longer trying to buy, and now he is in the hold or sell position.
With companies like OBE being closely held and hard to build positions - it takes a long time to build a position. During that time, you either don't talk about it, it bad mouth it.
This placement would of gone to the broker's IPO regulars, and company insiders - none of which would of said no, because its an instant profit, and they don't want to get left out next time.
