From my own experience, stocks that get sold down before a major announcement tend to shoot up. If it goes up before a major announcement. Chances are it's going to bomb. Honestly who knows. I've made a decent loss that I might as well hold. Unless we have a leaky boat and someone got a hold of the CS? And those SS's and they're not good at all then I can imagine this could be why.

Another theory I have is that there's a leaky ship. The results are bloody phenomenal. Someones slowly selling off with their large parcels being the bulk of their profit up at the high end (12c - 0.08c) now they're forcing it down. Shaking people out so when the news drops they'll be there to buy all their shares back at a dirt cheap price and make a killing. Also it looks good on paper!

Sorry if this all comes across as ramblings, doing this from my phone at work.

These are all my own theories and are not advice in anyway! Please do your own research.
