RE:RE:RE:RE:Major Institutional SELLERS according to Morningstar:
This makes a more than 1 year record high short figure for 3 periods in a row of roughly 1 million PVG shares shorted.
This Canadian short selling table from the 3 periods directly in front of the offer speaks also for the theory of market manipulation to drive the share price down in favour of a cheap Aussi offer. The "calculation" may look like this for the whole total PVG Shares =187.90m plus options and "rights".
Let us say roughly 190m shares and equivalants times 3 CAD depressed offer price enabled by market manipulations for a cheap market price. This means
winninig = big 570 m CAD for Newcrest by cheating together with their thief accomplices.
Costs are a known and calculated "loss" of 1 million shares (shorted for purpose of manipulations to depress the shareprice directly before the offer) times 6.50 CAD (difference short price to offer price) => 1 m times 6.50 CAD "
loss" = only 6.5 million CAD for the PVG gold thieves gang.
Easy calculation...
Easy to do, as unfortunately short selling can be done much more anonymous than going long.
Hopefully regulators will start an investigation about that strange
1 year record high short selling number of roughly 1 million shares in a row just directly before the "offer" came out. A strange activity just in the 3 periods in front of that strange Aussi "offer".
As a European I like to encourage Canadian (especially BC) shareholders to contact BC security commission (regulators) about this issue.
