If I had a dollar for everytime a SYA hotcopper poster claimed manipulation. I'd be a billionaire. Of course manipulation happens, but if you're attributing long-term share price trends to this, may I suggest you also look at other factors too.

That PLL offtake truly was a horrendous deal, particularly when you consider that SYA was so keen on NAL because they were obviously very bullish on the lithium outlook. PLL had all of the leverage (as SYA couldn't win NAL without PLL's backing), but I'm sure there must have been other ways to attract PLL in. Perhaps giving them a LoM discount to the prevailing spot price, rather than a LoM offtake @ US$900/tonne, would have been a far superior result.

I think SB's post was fair game.
