Can someone explain how an on market purchase didnt get...

Read michaels post 4 above yours and it will explain everything.
Retail holders mostly read hotcopper and like Michael did upon seeing a good announcement this morning, he looked into the company, and by this arvo had assertained these guys are dodgy, and something stinks here. But, being smart (we'll see) he has come to the conclussion i have come to... this is in no way a long hold, but there should be a great pump and dump around the corner.
But, while some will trade the trade, others would not buy GED shares with free money.
You made out its market wide, but there are still plenty of companies going up right now, and most $10 million companies on the ASX would have had a great day today after those reesults.
This company has had as bad a month as possible sentiment wise.

You do realise these are the same results dont you?? They have just been assayed, but we got the visual commentary of the next hole.

Also, I was sure we had $178 000 traded by 11:41 this morning, but the final volume was less than that... WTF???
