I think word is slowly leaking out. The question is when will he release the disappointing 2012 results? He may brush it off like he did last year but a miss is a miss. Maybe he needs a good news story to overshadow the lesser bad news story. He has 8 weeks to do it.
I think the market smells a financing. Or wants it. So, Dundee drives the price down in order to grab more shares for their $s. A lower share price also makes it harder for SGR to borrow the money they need. Win-win. If you're a bank.
