***NEM - perpetrators left evidence on the tape...

*NEM bulls be careful, blockade set-up! Check out what type of information tape-reading gives the reader:

Apparently someone somewhere put up a blockade on NEM today just before the close at $45.00 and $45.01... as ALL THE following TRADES were AT THE ASK

We must ask ourselves, who could this possibly be? Well not just anyone can defend a stock in the last 5 minutes of trading from tens of millions pounding at the ask, if this is a short-seller, who could possibly be carrying such a line? The good news here, if this is a short-seller, they will likely cover their line and offer support at a key level as they may be making a smart choice taking NEM short here... it will be fun to see how the bellwether of $GOLD stocks plays out through the ides of March...
