Hav you considered this?, page-16

I agree a progress report would go well. In the months of July-August fruit is budding ,finished flowering and general upkeep with fertilizer and pest control. We have been told that the recent rains have had no effect. Remember the plantations are spread. It may not be till late September that directors can make a informed statement as to this years crop and prices. Mind you if you look at todays announcement by Beston foods BFC who have failed to reach prospectus projections, their  price is down 20% from 2 days ago. This is not DFM case.

I have long held that because of the thin spread of shareholders, the register was open to aggressive manipulation. What is curious to me is that did the trading sellers panic long term holders to sell. It is not impossible that the original holders were forced seller dictitated to by bankers or other finance houses.

I have done a rough analysis of trades on ASX and broker analysis in an attempt to understand who has caused all the turmoil.
Also got this piece from the web from BTIC  (a broker) who admits to automated trading (use of bots)
