    Sharesies just put a notice up showing the closures of NZX over the break and they've probably all just realised they want their money out for the break.

    I never understand this when a share has great sentiment and people keep trying to buy there are people selling loads and keeping it from flying up, just don't sell.
    Its a market, mate - completely irrational.

    Long overdue correction.

    Is it to get theirs sold before someone else has the same idea?
    Who knows?

    Everyone has different investment strategies and motivations for buying or selling. Traders may be taking profits - anticipating a SP drop or moving their funds into the "next big thing". Some sellers may need the funds for some other reason - maybe to build a new deck. (If you've been following this thread for a number of years you'll get the meaning of this option!)

    If you're an investor (like me) you'll probably stand on the side line watching the ups and downs with interest but doing nothing about any of them -unless you see an opportunity to buy more. (PEB has now shot up to 23% of my portfolio so I'm just watching.)

    Other than that, mind-reading skills are required and I don't have them.

    Bound to be fixed with the next update from the company though.
    I think this is more likely a minor tree shake or a trader locking in gains before Xmas (and likely lower liquidity). VWAP was close to 1.24 on good volume which bodes well.

    Mate,

    If people keep buying/ holding stocks and doesn’t sell out, where the money come from? Money just go around and correction are normal steps of a stock. As long as a stock flat out or doesn’t break the stop loss price, it is a good stock.

    Good grief, shows you what he thinks of the current SP and future prospects. $72m cap to $860m in a few short months, KACHING! Cash out time by the MD.

    Must be a very big one this time!

    Dave is still hanging on to ~9m shares though so he's still looking forward to the big payday.
