It certainly highlights what's transpiring ATM..... call it a number of things : capping/manipulation etc.
Some say it's part of the "game", I say it makes a mockery of the "watchDOG".
I get the market "may" have priced in an announcement.... IMV - this is not what we have here, evident by the copious small placements including a number of single-digit orders placements/trades.
It would be totally confusing to a new-ish investor to AVZ (or any stock for that matter) with trading of the type currently taking place.
Can only sit back and wait.... again... still shaking one's head, I guess
