Interesting angle but i would aver that the bigwig would hold out for a controlling stake to take the company by the scruff and steer it his way otherwise he would end with an EAPC like scenario. @aguy am not ruling out all strategic investors buy in just the local ones unless its for a speculative hunt. The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.

What do you mean? If a bigshot wants in on this stock why would he get in holding the short end of the stick vs govt holding?

The govt holds 70% the only way of getting in big is by convincing them to sell you some of its holding "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.
