Most definitely Mr Pig, (SOR) has been the victim of a short and this is how they do it in Australia. Let's just say 6 investors with holdings of 3,000,000 shares each get together, that's 18,000,000 shares. So they want to short a particular stock. First they sell between 80 and 90% of their holdings at the top of the market (huge profits). Then they get together and shit can the stock on social media groups just like this one. They work on the principal of panicking the herd, negative rumour, the sky is falling, unsuspecting small investors spook very quickly. Remember combined they still hold over 2,000,000 shares to begin manipulating the market. They start shorting the stock, lots of small volume sales on a downward trend, each time the stock price rises they smash it again. We must have witnessed this many hundreds of times today. They continue this downward push until stop losses are triggered and from there the share price builds up speed in its downward trend. When the group finds the share price is low enough they cash in. All of a sudden they have enough profits to buy back 30,000,000 or even more. Just ask an ex Australia Prime Minister, he was a specialist at it.
