just who or what is running our share price?, page-4

"BUT - I'm wrong! It's not whatever Lynas is doing (or not doing)- I strongly believe our SP is pretty well totally in the hands of the JP Morgans and Deusche Banks of this world.
As large institutional buyers and sellers - as well as the sources of highly valued Broker Reports - how can they lose in a relatively small stock like Lynas in a very small stock market like Australia? We are just the mugs that play around the edge of their much larger game! Luckily many of us are BUY and HOLD for this stock and are saved somewhat from the gamers"

You can look at it from another perspective. The games being played by the Morgans and their ilk does give long term holders the opportunity to accumulate at a discount. Assisted by downrampers, the lemmings and the traders that risk their money and often lose there are plenty of opportunities for those that watch the market for opportunity. Stop loss settings by traders are my best friend. I've accumulated a lot of freebies over time with LYC.

I also think you are overestimating the difficulty in starting up the new plant. I know the chemistry is complicated. Many years ago my first job was in a laboratory that worked on developing a plant for extracting rare earths from monazite. That is 60 years ago so the processes, while being complicated, are not new. Lynas has the benefit that their plant is modelled on successful Chinese technology. I do not see much of a problem other than those associated with any new mechanical installation.

So my tip is to have faith in the management, forget Morgans, ignore the daily SP if you are not buying and hold for the longer term.
