see how market reacts to GUY bought

deal financing for 100 million dollars, which is not even half what they need to build their mine.  It was announced at close of market today, so it should be interesting tomorrow.  So its a sign that there is serious money available for reasonable projects.  It comes not long after their feasibility study was completed.  Feasibility study complete, share price rises, financing comes.  We might see a similar pattern with Volta.

Exactly.  The institutions don't care - they beat the retailers and anybody else dumb enough to look at 'value' into submission.  Sell VTR down to .20, run the price up to .40, then go heavily short at .40 and finance the company's next round at .30, sell heavily again as the price breaks down well below .30, cover and go long again at .15 and then sell the company to ...more

And the whole sector's going to get killed today - you can set your watch by looking at the hourly chart of gold.  'Oh look, it must be 8:00 EST, the price of gold just fell off a cliff'.

They wouldnt dare to heavily short Volta at 0,4, they can only manipulate until a buyout offer comes in, and in Voltas case its probably not if but when.
Comment by VentureTrader1 on Jan 31, 2013 11:41am
They will run the price UP (a little, from whatever level the work it down to) and then SHORT in advance of the PP that they participate in, to break the price below the PP level, then cover the short and be long at a price lower than the PP.  Because they know in advance that they've got an equity stake at a fixed price in the PP, they can safely both run the price up prior to the PP ...more

Interesting, Volta took a ten per cent dive too when it did its bought deal financing a year and a half ago for $1.90 a share.  Different times, different market, but at that time I think the market for Volta reacted angrily not because of dilution which was minimal but because the share prices given were less than the trading price of Volta shares then, which were over $2.00 I believe.  ...more
