Ann: Supplementary Cooper Basin Order Announcement, page-244

It's being manipulated at the closing auction each day to close below the VWAP yet there's no evidence of shorting over the past 12 months. So why go to that much trouble if it not to either accumulate stock or to set it up for a takeover attempt? One US incumbent has been axed already by Santos and another had to drastically lower their costs to remain in that oil field. Clearly HCD is going to become a thorn in the side of many incumbents.

The auction manipulation won't be retail holders because you can see the speed of order changes, it's bots acting on the behalf of an entity to scoop up inexperienced day trader stock in my view. By the way, highlighting any stock on the day trader thread creates the same chart over and again and it takes time to sweat these accidental holders out.
