exactly skint. The price decline with this timing made no sense . Then managements stone cold silence basically lends to the assumption that something has gone amiss and those in the know are getting out, to which the market responds .
We will now shortly find out if those jitters were legit or if things are all well.. Either way it's disappointing prana waited this long to respond to the market but at least now they are... Fingers crossed it's good news but it's hard to be optimistic at the moment
Possibly m123, but don't rule out the simple possibility of tax loss selling in the US. The more the price nosedives, the more tempting it is for holders with some good profits elsewhere to sell, taking the loss against the profitable trades. This hold has stopped that, as long as it does not lift before the 1st. As US tax law stands, once sold, the stock cannot be bought back before 30 days and claimed as a tax loss. That is called a wash, and it is illegal to claim that as a tax loss. The sudden drop at the end, in particular, could have been tax sellers. It is unlikely the PBT434 P1 will be reporting any results before Feb, so PRAN would be a good candidate for US tax loss selling. All in my opinion and I am no expert.
