If 'someone' has info re a T/O, they are not allowed to trade on this info. And they are not allowed to manipulate the share down.
Here is a true story: a few years ago I made about 100,000 on a real estate stock - thinly traded. The stock was always bopping around between 10 cents and 11 cents. I valued the REIT smack dab at 10.5 cents. So I always had a buy in at 10 cents and a sell at 11 cents. The share was so thin it was only ME as Mr Market maker. And only with about $10k of shares at 10 cents and $10k of shares at 11 cents.
I traded $5,000 lots. If I bought $5k at 10 cents I just put it for sale at 11 cents. If I sold $5k at 11 cents, I just put the buy in at 10 cents. I made $100,000. Simply 200 trades over a year and half at $500 a trade.
I had a friend who worked at Commsec. I shared my good fortune with him one drinking weekend. I used Commsec. The Monday following the weekend my account was frozen for 'price manipulation' by Commsec. I complained to ASIC (and CC'ed Commsec). Then Commsec terminated my account.
Now if what I did was SHARE MANIPULATION and I was allowed to be 'terminated', then what is happening to WGX is complete manipulation. But maybe for OUR GOOD. Is it good I bought at 1.14 and doubled down at 1.06?
Remember, according to Commsec and ASIC one person / entity cannot buy sell both sides of the market.
