Good morning everybody.

How’s the anticipation?
Mine is coming along fine .

Will the ‘lucky buyer’ prize go to the win at $2.32 this morning?

As a catch up, and seeing as there is no other news, late yesterday VHB paid about $2.38 and a half and was possibly happy, or at least accepting the situation, at that price.
It made two comparatively large  after market purchases on the ASX .
...Or maybe there are two VHB’s seeing as there were two trades? (for 39,838 and 73,291 shares.)

Of perhaps greater  relevance to imending news was the volume of trades yesterday?

Maybe someone more attentive can tell me if I am wrong, but  4,587 trades in one day seems excessive, even for our high frequency trade emitting substantial holder, Vinva. (That’s an average of around 190 shares per trade . And if you remove VHB’s late purchase the average comes down to around 171 shares per trade.)
Vinva is so all over  NRW at the moment it must be hard for anyone else to move anywhere without alerting the whole tribe of quants that live in it’s machinery.
...Or maybe Vinva has multiplied and we are having a case of duelling bats quants?
Anyway if I was VHB I think I would be stepping quietly up to the counter after dark too ...



Vinva wins the ‘ YOU BAT TER BELIEVE IT ‘ Substantial Holder Award for strong totemic ties to a vulnerable Pilbara creature with bright orange fur .

...The Pilbara Leaf-nosed Bat may be identified in flight from its orange fur colour in a spotlight beam. However, such observations should be confirmed by recording their distinctive echolocation calls with a bat detector, since other similar-sized bat species can also appear pale in a spotlight beam....
...
The echolocation call of the Pilbara Leaf-nosed Bat is highly diagnostic and can be detected using several different types of bat detector, if the bat is within the reception range of the microphone. ......
The mean characteristic frequency of the loudest (second) emitted harmonic is 121 kHz in the Pilbara, which is around 6 kHz higher than in the northern distribution of the species.......
The detection range of echolocation calls depends on the type and sensitivity settings of bat detectors, but is typically a few metres within a relatively narrow band around the microphone axis.”
