Not manipulation - just a typical problem with any company whose shares are very thinly traded. The company has about 100M shares but nearly 90% of these are held by the top 4 shareholders. This leaves a mere 10M available for trade and a fair guess much of this is also held by longtermers (like myself) and again is not available. The net result is a very small daily turnover, generally less than 20000 shares and often zero.
With a very sparse buy/sell list large gaps between buy&sell are quite common.
My suggestion is to put them in the draw and wait for dividends to start flowing - hopefuly this will increase heaps over the next couple of years now the expansion program has almost finished.
