There's also speculation that the embattled Valad property group will be looking for cash perhaps today or tomorrow after its shares rose mysteriously.

(That seems to be the new tactic, boost share prices to a level where a company can more comfortably raise cash.

The shares rose despite two big shareholders in the Colonial and 452 Capital selling millions of shares)
