As a "trading" comment as per thread title I put this out there.
I've been watching trading behavior (ie charts) for very many years, and survived the 87 crash.
It gave me a fascination for the sight of prices in free-fall, a very ugly picture if you are a victim - but I've used it more than once to buy a falling knife with mixed results but mostly just to learn about share trading.
Now the MSB situation of the last few months is very fascinating - and I am always especially keen on big volume patterns. To that extent I think the future for my MSB holding is coming down to the wire right now. I have never been more confident of that, and say to all here my sentiment is STRONG BUY - WITH CAUTIOUS STEPS. Not ramping the stock, it is just my sentiment based on the following. I have some friends here and I post to them and I want to see others to do well where by their loyalty they deserve it. I also have at least 100 posters on HC stocks on ignore (those who in my view are dedicated never hold down rampers for reasons known only to them , and which are of zero interest to me).
Since the beginning of the Teva era (2010) there have only been 3x occasions where weekly big trading volumes approached levels to 20M shares. They were September 2010, March 2013, and November 2015.
Note 3x occasions in 5x years.
Since October 2017 (just 5 months ago) there have been 5x occasions when weekly volumes hit levels from 10M to 40M.
17 Oct 2017 - 41 Million
30 Oct 2017 - 10 Million
06 Nov 2017 - 30 Million
19 Feb 2018 - 11 Million
26 Feb 2018 - 30 Million
That's right - 10m to 40m shares in 5x weekly figures - eclipsing all big transaction weeks from 2010 to mid 2017 !!!
More big transaction weeks in 5x months than in the previous 7x years.
With all those shares hoovered up in new hands, with GVHD certain to proceed, with CHF getting closer, and with Silviu signalling to by-pass partners - I have all the signals I need. IMO the tide has turned and those with the big money have to get onto the stage the hard way (bad luck no Placement this time) to join the ones who patiently held. Their only other hope is to grind away with an algorithm and hope they don't get left at the barrier like losers do.
*** our share price is NOT in free fall
*** the credit raising was a speed bump we had to get over
*** if you have experience or read
@vinn and others you should know accumulation is going on
*** it is professional money pushing our share price up, but not always in leaps and bounds
*** there will always be down days like today - I use them
If I am proven wrong I will wear the losses and wear it on Hot Copper in public.
Rather be dead than be a shorter.
