Good question Mondy - I don't take it as sledge at all - it's sensible to ask it given as you say the "leakiness" we often see. I don't have a categorical answer for you but I will say that the deal is being managed by a Norwegian broker in the European/US time zone and will likely be placed to clients in those areas. So this creates a degree of distance - perhaps a deliberate move by BC to avoid the usual noise you refer to. I am based in Hong Kong not Australia if that lends any weight to my response around what I hear and from whom.
