Yeah, that makes more sense tbh. Whilst Hartleys appear to have form when it comes to dumping, this announcement may cause Hartleys to be more strategic with offloading their holdings, as you've suggested. Then again, it wouldn't be the first time that a broking house has put the desires of instos ahead of their own interests.
All us holders can do is wait and see (a) when we're doing to do well out of BGS and (b) by how much.
