the manipulators at play, page-2

As long as you insist on blaming people who you think are evil and responsible for everything you do not like, the longer you will put off doing real research into what realy controls both short term <12 months and long term> 1 year stock prices. Both these are controlled by profits. The only reasons shorters are growing is because they have done research into profits/ They realize that profits have fallen over 80% in 1.5 years. 2022 AR to 2022 SAR. They realize with AL comments about holding back production in Q3 CC and the continuing decline in REE prices Profits are going to stay very low for the short term and there is still no news that will raise prices beyond that. I include the tariffs that may happen in 2026 when i say that.

Shorter's have no desire to drive stock down. Their research says to them the stock will fall and that shorting is the best way to make money on that. You absolutly do not need to agree with them! Until you understand why they are doing things and why there is so much more shorting activity you may come up surprised, and never understand the market at all. I find it interesting you blame shorters but never even mention the buyer vs seller ratio. Which do you think is causing the greater stock movement? TMM EPS will be about AUD 0.12 after The AR That says Lynas is only earning 2% on SP if stock is AUD 6.00. Shorter's see LYC as a bad investment in todays market and short it. What do you think of it? Even if profits come in way over estimates (which is unlikely) lets say $0.18 still only 2.6% return on SP.

If you believe stock is going up which must be true with your "BUY" Why don't you tell us why based on your research? Saying shorters are evil tells us nothing, Research explaining why they are wrong says a lot.

The ASX was over 4000 to day for the first time ever. So ASX up, Lynas down. do some research on metrics of other ASX stock and compare to Lynas and it should be clear why ASX is going up and Lynas down. This is incomplete but a good place to start, https://www.marketindex.com.au/asx/xjt Charts come up with one day return look at these but make sure you look at 1 and 5 years as well. How does Lynas compare to stocks that are setting new highs?

i say all this not to make you wrong but to convince you to DYOR which will make you a far better investor. the Dutch founded the first stock market to fund trade in India. Metrics were created to measure performance. They worked then and they still work to day. Many people have come up with alternatives they have always faded away quickly. some shippers did well and investors invested in them. some did poorly and investors stayed away. Today Lynas is doing poorly. Investors should flee. I firmly believe they will do very well in a few years. I will come back when I see that happening.

"East India Companies

In the 1600s, the Dutch, British, and French governments provided charters to companies with East India in their names. Sea voyages that brought goods from the East were risky due to pirates, weather, and poor navigation.

To lessen the risk of a lost ship ruining their fortunes, ship owners sought investors to fund the voyage, outfitting the crew in return for a percentage of the proceeds. These early limited liability companies (LLCs) often lasted for only a single voyage. Investors spread their risk by investing in several different ventures simultaneously."
