Ann: Export Coal Sales - December Quarter Update, page-46

re: Ann: Export Coal Sales - December Quarte... Toll and Funky,

I'm not attacking your stance, or questioning your right to voice an opinion on a public forum. What I am asking is that apart from the bleedingly obvious comments that you have made regarding anns not driving price, what is your view regarding what may be holding the SP back? This question is open to the floor; we've heard things such as:

-Manipulation - You've gone into this Toll saying that those with 'deeper pockets' are able to keep the price down in order to accumulate. Is this what we are facing though? After a few months of this manipulation why would it not have dried up by now? That is a serious question by the way, I'm not questioning what you've said, I'm keen to know why. Anyone able to describe the manipulation process further, particularly over this period of time that would much appreciated.
-Lack of interest from the smart money
-All round quiet time of year for the sharemarket
-Etc., etc., etc....

A no bullocks assessment from anyone is appreciated; just as we like to fit the jigsaw of good news and good fundamentals, I'd like to build my own picture as to why the vast majority of my portfolio is moving slower than my Nan's Volvo. Counter-attacks to your comments only come when there is no logic, or basis to the argument. I wouldn't mind an all-in, evidence based discussion to try and put some reason to the SP. Thanks in advance.

P.S. Mckeefehl, your more than welcome to join. I suggest first however you find a dictionary and look up the words 'logic', 'basis' and 'evidence' before you attempt to participate. Big smiles :)
