Khareema is right on this. There seems to be a steady supply of shares available. It may be from people who need cash for another investment that is happening now and there is some urgency. I sold some a while back to buy CMM, mades a nice little return on that, sold and got back into NOT. Fortunately for me at a lower price, but thats the chance I took. I am still down big time on this company. There were millions of shares bought a little over a year ago for sixty cents. In fact, for a 9 month period from late 2008 on, NOT traded at an average of 70 to 80 cents. Anyone who bought these could be bored with the lack of news or be worried about the infrastructure timing. While we think they are giving their shares away, they are happy to be pocketing a tidy 30 or 40% gain and moving on to something else. A couple of years ago, someone posted the timeline of activity of a new resource stock from the initial euphoria of discovery to the profit taking to the monotony of infill drilling for resource estimation to the buyout/production decision. It was very interesting and explains some of what is going on. Knowing all this, it is hard to imagine major investors continually selling at a loss so they can keep the price down, even with tax advantages.
