NEM kept 4.9% when they could have sold the lot. I heard that the dealers who bought the 28 million would have taken the lot but it was not offered. I think that NEM simply has a deal going that needs the $218 million cash.. I expect we will what NEM needed the cash for soon. Of course by retaining 4.9% that is below the reporting limit of 5% so they can sell off the remainder as and when they like without having to tell the market in advance...

I think the reason NEM sold is neither bullish nor bearish for the stock -- simply a business decision on their part. It's not like some big investment institution selling.
