you had some pretty well thought out reasons for thinking that the plant may already be operational lol
i agree that the fall in the market MAY have been an opportunity for someone to manufacture the fall in the linc share price and get the volumes that they wanted which as you said couldn't have been possible without driving the share price north and attracting competition from specualtors.
all theories and speculation aside, next week we should have some news.
cheers
