Surely if the ASX and ASIC were serious about sorting out the share market and "inside trading" they would have a look at the volume increase, on an intraday chart, just prior to ABS going into "trading halt" today for the announcement. It is one of the most obvious cases of dodgey trading I've ever seen.
Saying that, I'm pretty happy I didn't sell into the cynicism and negativity over the past few days.
