Sounds like you might know a bit more about this stocky sharey thingy than most of us.

What's you take on todays events?

Given it is thinly traded, it does not take much to drive the price up. But, there is not much point in doing so if it's just going to come back down again, you just loose your money.

Someone decided that today, the shares would rise and there must be a reason. Any ideas?
