Also agree entirely; you need to be very careful, even though it is simply an attempt to control what is done with your own shares (i.e. not let them be shorted, which shouldn't be allowed without our consent anyway imo), you need to be very careful not to be seen to be colluding or orchestrating buys and sells as that could be seen as a form of manipulation - even though it's clearly not and is totally innocent (and quite amusing) especially in comparison to what the BEOT have been doing.

Anyone can place buy and sell orders whenever they want for whatever they want but agreeing to do so on mass could be seen in a different light. BEOT seem to be given a licence to manipulate on the ASX, whereas retail get hammered for far far less it would seem.
