Can someone tell me how it is even possible that the limited amount of shares on the market can make much of a difference to VB.
Toll own 62%
Virgin Group own 20%
Brett has say 5%

Leaving only 13% actually traded on the market. This would have to be one of the lowest actual amount of shares on any of the companies on the stock exchange. Even if Toll are selling off whilst talking about holding VB shares they would surely reach a point where they would have to tell the market that they are doing this.

Perhaps someone with more knowledge about the stock exchange than myself can explain?
