What happened at close?, page-32

Parleycross,

When you wrote:

"ORG is flying today but STO has barely moved."

1. The share price was $4.06 representing an increase of 1.2% - not bad for a co'y in midst of finalising a massive cap raise!

2. I am sure you realised we were already discussing the point you made and just provided some explanations to superpanda's question:

" I am still not getting why origin shares price has increased a lot more than santos. Santos has glng up and running. "

Some responses included:

"STO is still in the middle of concluding a significant cap raise....... (yes...imho) ....

The retail short fall book-build will be concluded on Thurs (from memory) so we will see whether that is indeed the case in a short few days time." and,

"STO still being shorted by subunderwriters & bookbuilding participants on the expected retail shortfall. A real anomaly in the Oz market."

You seem fairly educated in financial markets. With that in mind, I am not sure why you seem so surprised that a company in the middle (or nearing end) of a major cap raise isn't performing as well as a peer who is not?

I note your sentiment states: sell, and disclosure: not held; but can I confirm whether you are "short" the stock?
