Ann: Newcrest and Newmont enter into exclusivity deed, page-80

I share the same feeling. Two days ago, I put 1000 shares on the seller side, it was taken quickly. SH dropped a few cents and my wife put another 1000 shares to sell at same price, SP went up and took it quickly. Today I tried to buy 1000 shares a few cents lower on the buyer side, it was taken quickly, then my wife did the same and was taken quickly. SP went downwards in both cases. in all four orders, course of sale in Commsec did not show there were 1000 shares, only small numbers went through records. These are clear signs that someon is trying to collect and scare off buyers.
As due diligence cut off time is tomorrow, we shall know the result very soon. If nothing is declared, then there must be fierce negeotiations between two parties.
