An article I'd like to share with my fellow punters which could explain a thing or two about recent (and not so recent) trading activities:

I'm not saying this is what has happened/is happening, just that it is a possible explanation for the volumes and price movements. We all know there are some big interests out there who's average price per share isn't so crash hot...

I should add this is also happening to PUA at the moment (formerly HEG). Perhaps I'm wrong and it is a big call to make I suppose, but certainly within the realms of possibility.

Here's another article in a similar vein:
