You can rule out shorts being a factor in the heavy trading of shares over the last 6 days...also a big player is unlikely as substa ntial shareholder notice needs to be lodged within 2 business days of reaching 5% threshold...more likely the cause being trading by day traders and swing traders riding the ups and downs fueled by speculation ?...hype?...over optimism?who knows?...
