Those traded volumes we are seeing is local big money buying in bits.E.G Access K,did you know the Somens made 600million(to me,unethical profits being the owners) after the IPO WHEN THE SHARE PRICE WAS OVER 30 bob.Then again they bought back millions of the same shares at 4bob. Now thats the perfect example of the rich getting richer and the poor.......Dont miss the bus.
1) They sold at a price they (& many others) considered ridiculous. The same will happen with many other shares whose price has run up solely on speculation. 2) It makes sense to buy at 4/- if the firm is doing OK as long as it is done within the 'open period' & revealed. 3) What if the rich bought the shares at 30 & sold at 4? Or now that they are poor, it doesn't matter?
