ASX:NAB and ASX: ISX Deal, page-8

I find it funny that people still hold conspiracy theories about 'putting share prices lower'.

The truth is that someone probably bought for a quick trade hoping for a spike, and then dumped as needed cash to settle the trade. I used to do this in my younger years. Buy for a spike and then sell on settlement day if spike didn't come. ISX is a speccy small cap, and these are easily traded by people with very little available funds, making it susceptible to the above mentioned issues.

I was on the buy and sell side of institutional trading since 1997, most of that in fairly sophisticated markets, such as HK, NY and UK - and I can assure you that the conspiracy theories are just uneducated speculation.

Not being rude, just get frustrate with retail people conjuring up all these theories...
