A stockbroker with the course of trades or the ASX / ASIC could tell by analysing the buys and sells to see if there is a large volume operator amongst us buying and selling up and down to overall end up with a marginal net loss/gain but with a sizeable price move.
It can be done easily and borrowing shares from other holders is common practice to do it so a top 20 may not give nay indication. i.e I'll give you shares back to you at value from when I borrowed them....very similar to short trading shares. In fact it is basically short trading but not in the usual way. ASIC should look into it if it were happening...
I have no doubt that we'll be in a TH on Tuesday next week by the end of the day, so you have to decide by Monday (I guess) if you want to be in or out ?! I get the feeling someone wants me out.... but I've been wrong more than right recently!!
