interesting though, that there aren't any significant volume spikes to reflect the trade. So perhaps the JSE traded volumes not correctly reflected?

If he place the offer at a much lower price say 1000points down, he would flush the market right? but would that be seen as a mis trade..Simon?

180 pts for me too - 27910 - 28090. Problem is, that the ALSI gap is not closed - it still has about 100pts to go - but I work on the futures market, so am happy with my lot - and will take a break for the rest of the day
