On a Friday evening we get to know the purchase of 100k share by RG's Trust - after hours. On the next trading day (=monday) volume starts increasing to over 1mio shares and on the next day (= March 18th = three months after the settlement was announced) the shareprice and the volume begins to increase...
Hm, after two years with Patriot I can't believe in coincidences anymore, not to mention the strange explanation RG gave, he wouldn't have known about the restrictions (I don't know, who posted this, I guess, it was kamranta...?).
As I said in the week where the increase started, it seemed to me, as if this 100k purchase was done to "install" new trust in the current shareholders and some of the fence sitters, and consequently led to the first purchases on the first of these days mostly by ourselves - and then "someone" started to sell in big pieces and "someone" bought.
Sounds all a little bit like a conspiracy theory, but as I posted months ago: From my business experience I don't like a communication strategy (more: I think, it's a mistake), which seems to focus on ONE event on ONE day.
All IMHO - glty
