Why? If you buy the story being told, a strategic investor came to them and offered money at 25% above the 5day average price. Taking the funds completely negates any thought they they need to raise capital in the short term and as a new external shareholder with experience in the area, is great validation of the company.
Add to that more experienced exec's (which they will cull quickly if they dont add value) must also be seen as a postive.
I see it as positive though the main question still remains - can they break the US market?
Where have you been? thats what this forum is famous for. PEB thread even got removed due to negative behaviour. Re claims of insider trading, this is nothing against XRO themselves (it would be pretty obvious if Rod or others were buying). More likely someone in the industry (eg. the Pilot of Accel private jet ;) )knew what was going down and bought in knowing it would pop.
