the truth about lynas share price, page-4

[Lynas shares are getting shorted by big players so they can buy back later at a cheaper prices]

Yes, that is correct.

[However once production starts then Lynas's strong fundamentals will start to kick in and start to attract more big players]

Incorrect. We need two quarters of even production cash flow.

[is it really normal for a company worth ~2.3b market cap and strong fundamentals to be manipulated by shorters like a penny stock]

It *IS* a penny stock. Do you not know where you are?

[Something really fishy is going on. any speculation to what that might be?]

See the first paragraph. However, it also depends on what you think "fishy" is.
