Rusty, I don't follow your logic regarding Alkane selling.  Why would they sell while accumulating, especially if, as is likely, the combined effect of buying and selling x shares leaves the price unchanged.  All they achieve is to line the broker's pockets.

The pattern of their buying looks like spare cash buying.  Nonetheless, it possibly telegraphs a continuing interest in accumulation that might result in the cash earmarked for the abandoned purchase coming Calidus' way.

I wonder what is in DR's mind as up to now he has seemed to want Calidus independent.  Perhaps it is a clever way of gaining funding.
