Yesterday’s winners
Former Spectrum Metals (ASX:SPX) chairman Tony Barton bought himself another 1.1 per cent of the company, with the news released yesterday. It was the only news to move the Spectrum share up 2c — or 60 per cent.
Dateline Resources (ASX:DTR) was up a whopping 50 per cent after two people bought — wait for it — $1,735 worth of stock.
And Coziron Resources (ASX:CZR) share also had a hit of the buying sugar, but if you thought $1700 was a crazy small sum to move a stock your eyes will pop out when you see what moved Coziron up 43 per cent: $619.

Yesterday’s losers
There were few obvious reasons why most of the top five losers dropped.
However, Blackham Resources (ASX:BLK) said it needed another $26m from shareholders, thanks, after asking for and obtaining $36m in January and February last year. Investors sold the stock down 33 per cent after being asked for more money.
