Edgy i have a different take on why mining juniors are down. Because the powers to be can and do take them down. Why for the money. Secondary for take overs to come. How with FTD's . I have read articles about the use of Failure To Delivers, as many here have. The over use of these by the powers that can was rampant back in the mid 2000's. I just wonder what the percentage of daily use is these days. I know back then the article i read stated than on an average day it should be about 1 to 4 % of trades and it was actually something like 18 % of trades, and some were never reconciled. Have you ever wondered how they bring do the share price in just about every junior at the same time, and where they get the shares? This is all just my humble opinion but i would bet a great percentage is FTD's. There have been many company's destroyed by this instrument.
