There was announcement at 3.00 and I missed it regarding the issue of management incentive options. Some 500,000 at 7.5c exercise price. I assume that the exercise price is worked out based on a VWAP over the last 3 months.

Could the issue of executive options to the rest of the 'A-Team' now assembled at 7.5c be the reason the price is being held down by the lack of news.

not into conspiracy theroies but if management wanted to maximise their benefits they would want to get as many options issued at the 'low' VWAP current prices rather than having the positive effect of the china news pushing the price up.

My guess is that there will be some more announcements regarding incentive options for the 'A-Team' . once all issued will make the announcment regarding china and give the 'A-Team' the incentive they needed to come from BHP (security) to MPO (less security but lots of potential).

Say China pushed the price to 30c, the options would be worth some $100K striaght away.

I am in for the long term.
