you've gotta be special to do tiny trades and affect the share price, this was my letter to both ASIC and ASX two plus years ago, the fraud continues to this day, ASIC is the fox in the henhouse
ATTENTION : Belinda Mai
Please forward this on to market surveylance for me, and could i once again have a receipt. Many thanks.
Hi,
Please investigate the share price manipulation late Friday afternoon June 22nd between 3.45pm and the close of trading at 4.10pm in AGS Alliance Resources
Here are the relevant trades, you will note there was a normal 20k trade at 3.14pm prior to the manipulation, which would have enabled to have the shares close at 18.5 cents. This same thing has happened numerous times in AGS over the past year in particular, and even as far back as their court case started over 2 years ago, these people Qasar/Heathgate Resources have the most to gain by keeping AGS at a low share price. Please go over the 4pm to 4.10pm trading in AGS going back to at least the start of this year and you will see a clear pattern of manipulation emerge. In your reply to me, if you find no wrong-doing here (as is always the case) could you please DEFINE what share price manipulation is for me ? Thanks in advance.
