What are you talking about? This is exactly what 'some people' were predicting. This is the sterotypical price movement before an AEB capital raising; an unexplained sudden spike in price despite an absence of good news. Compare it to previous capital raisings - seriously, go back and look at the chart, look at the timings of the announcements of capital raisings, look at the price movement before them and the types (or absence) or news before them.
I was specifically predicting a price rise like this to happen before the capital raising. I was speculating on whether it would be at 2 or 2.5c, which obviously requires it to get higher than that, on a spike like this, which is why I was predicting it. Go back and read my recent posts and you'll see it.
I expect that we will fairly likely see some 'positive' news in the near future, perhaps an announcement that they got the license and/or harvesting has commenced, which some people will think indicates that this current jump is due to a leaky ship, then the capital raising trading halt (or perhaps just the trading halt). The cycle is in obvious swing now, and it's as easy to read as a children's book.
