Yes I agree. It has been a while since news pushed the sp up.
Generally the sp will increase substantially on rumor of news as we all know. Generally by the time the NR is released the sp has almost topped, hence the saying: "buy on rumor. Sell on news". In this case it appears that the sp tanked on rumor rather than the usual rise. Now its up on news contrary to what the sp wants to do for one reason or another.
We do have good volume to be sure. The RBC lack of news may stifle things for awhile but in the final analysis, this NR has too much good stuff in it. I can't see a rational investor not seeing the real value here. Nickel? Looks like we got lots.
The road issue could have been an Nr on its own merit.
The HITS at E1 compiled with the Probe 50/50 jv is stellar to say the least. Possibly 2 more pods beneath E1? WOW. This is another NR on it's own merit.
The third Nr is the chrome et al.
So IMHO this news is just too overpowering for any shenanigans re the sp.
The shenanigans occurred by knocking the sp down to 55!
