Prudential ups stake in GW Pharma

Prudential have increased their stake in GW Pharma (GWP) from around 10% to just over 12% in the last few days which adds reassurance to the buys put in place yesterday. It now looks increasingly likely that the steep drop yesterday was market maker manipulation, triggering stop losses for private investors to fill the large Pru order.  Certainly looking at the pattern of trades there was no evidence of large sells and the price was forced down to 113p at one point yesterday morning. GWP is now trading up 0.5p at 119p to buy.
