Final ? Shakeout of Weak Hands/Knees b4 ~Jan 20th Whipsaw?.

Lurk & Learns:

Sometimes before a stock hit an inflection point (truns to releasing positive earnings per share) the "professionals" somehow has a knack to timing the "final?" shakeout of the weak hands/knees. 

One possibility to consider is the closing of the "short positions", by driving the price down to cover their shorts.

On Canada Stockwatch the summary and individual (trade by trade) might show the "pattern" of the "masters at work"! 

Looking with "eager anticipation" for the (possible) whipsaw when this "inconvenience" plays itself out.

Lurk & Leans are encouraged to study the shorting/covering history. The are very cognizant of TXP's vulnaberatiles and appear to make "well timed" attacks.

Lurk & Learns: Happy New Year to the Patient....and a quzzical to a broker(#7) who continues to "work on keeping the PPS" heading to $1.50 for reason(s) unknown.  House Positions for C:TXP from 20220103 to 20220105 House Bought $Val Ave Sold $Val Ave Net $Net 2 ...more

Lurk & Learns: Arbitragers sometimes work on some type of (long/short?) strategy,,i.e. using (say) TXP as the short in a long short trade (see You Tube for examples).  Also ADVFN is reporting a CREST increase.  In either of the TSX & AIM continued shorting of TXP will/may/could/ continue in an environment where the Oil price continues to increase (meaning a long in a ...more

Lurk & Learns: One brokerage (or entity using said brokerage), spent 86k tree shaking/price capping from start to finish of the trading day. "Green Shoots" day at the close? Questioin is have we hit the "inflection point"  that I have been looking for? Or it just a head fake? Or was today's close not a relaization that the multiple positive vectors to ...more

Thanks Stanley. Guess this adds some clarity as to how Royston could be considered a negative to the value of this company based on the reduction in market cap since announcement of the discovery. Even if you give zero value to the two overthrust sheets you have the intermediate which was tested well off the high of that interval giving you plenty of running room up structure.You also now have the ...more

Lurk & Learns & Sunnyboy11: Again thanks for the kudos, (BTW, Trinis say "sagaboy" to describe/address someone that they think could be best described as "cool") as it only gives me the impetus to clutter the board with my latest speculation(s). e.g. just checking the latest updated short position(s) shows a sizeable(%) increase for the YE 2021. Not sure what to ...more

Stanley, I suspect you already have these numbers but the short grew to 916,875 during August and then evaporated with hardly a ripple in the share price. As such, it may be purely defensive and may not necessarily push up the share price noticeably on exit - they seem to be good at this game. The primary antagnostic appears to be active in the UK market pre-Canada open. The Canadian short ...more

Lurk & Learns + FredAdair: Fred I recently posted the short history: 155 Reads Post# 34283139 Point being, my comments/observations are admittedly 100% speculative & inconclusive. As I still agree that in the background we could have any of my speculation(s).  What is curious, from the history is how a "short" can be covered without impacting the PPS.  ...more

More likely it's a London short where over 0.5% must be disclosed on Aim and a long Toronto where disclosure of longs only occurs after 10% under SEDAR. London has been regularly ahead of Toronto price wise and a London short covered by a Toronto long could have yielded 4c or 6c if done well?  That's a risk free $400,000 to $600,000 and doesn't disturb the market at all ...more

Lurk & Learns: Amazing how the UK trading appears to be baffling EVEN the resident experts,despite to the high daily volumes being traded. Bottomline (on the two UK boards) APPEARS to be the (alleged) "short" or "portfolio insurance"  is "under extrication" c\w an assist (extremely well timed "dumps" by two houses) on the TSX earlier this week ...more
