Hi Jemma,
Business as usual, no problems at all imo in day traders/t+3 traders at all, you get higher prices with them as they buy big & draw attention to the stock they play in with their higher volume. They don't sell on loss, they just take whatever profit they can get & its nothing harmful as for them to get their shares they have to get it from a scared holder that could've sold on cheaper prices while they always buy on higher!
Lets look at facts:
Buys are all big while sales are all small (ref to course of sales of EXT in last 2 days), which imo means that we're paying now for the low 6c dip. of course there will be many who are willing to take some "decent" profits before news come out & not take the risk. I wouldn't worry about the current dip at all & I don't think still even if it gets lower that we can predict how much will it be after news!
As for the worry about news: I don't understand why would you worry about news as there's no fundemental change at all for last few weeks!
I don't know your plan & your stop loss for EXT but you must have realised that the whole market is recovering & we can't be scared after storm is gone, you should've been scared then when it dipped to 6.5c, but now its all ok & back to normal & I tipped a big fight early 9c before news because I knew that many will prefer the easy no-risk profit & sell now.
If you like EXT's story & you find it convincing & you want to put your money on what you think then you hold on & disregard any daily movement at all until news come out.
If you're scared of results & not sure what it will hold for you then you catch the highest possible price & take a small profit or loss & wait for news & come after news but you'll miss the big chunk of profits in the halt before the news if its good.
I think 20c+ is possible if we're talking good grades in results of first 1-2 holes & if we get the news of extra license (which i think it should come seperately) then we could even get higher. I have no evidence or info to support my opinion other than what we all know. I practically can't get myself scared of results which are couple of weeks away or less becuase of my fear
I've been waiting for long & seen a lot darker days & we were almost few months away back then, now.....the moment of truth is close
cheers,
