Shorting - A lot of folks aren't aware that pension funds are heavily involved in short selling, they regularly lend stock to hedge funds that might short the stock to drive its share price down. This was deemed such a problem that here in the UK the Financial Services Authority (FSA) introduced a disclosure regime for ‘significant’ (0.25%) short positions in companies undertaking rights issues. It's a blooming minefield enabling hedge funds to rake in billions.
Banning it? A great idea but good luck as state pension investors also short sell, yes governments but they like to close their eyes to it.
My dearest Doyen Dan....your barking up the wrong tree there... should be outlawe, these brokers who loan customers shares out , are just doing it for their own ends now im slightly older n wiser , realise its all double bend , now i always check short positions before buying......Atb
De Ramper Roofer. 96.5! I hope you are not shorting these, or I will set Mulder on you?
Yeah, its an exciting phase with regular news and maybe an RNS landing soon. ex div end next month too. Feels like more positives than negatives despite the macro gloom
Mulder. As I said, I don't like short selling, & would be happy if it were illegal, but it is not.
Very good news building across the vod portfolio. Lots of interest and news articles weekly. Brooklands put a value of £15Bn on vantage earlier this year. Happy days!
Well done Cheapsharesboy - a new podium perfromer.
After a good start to the week, a familiar pattern ocurred and not just with VOD - as many shares suffered same fate.
Have a god weekend everyone
Cheers - C
Sorry Daniel but short selling is banned in many countries particularly across the EU. Anyone who shorts a stock is sc*m and it is a deeply immoral practice because you are benefiting from the demise of a company and rejoice if the worst happens and people lose their jobs etc. Can you not see this? It is a horrid practice that the UK must ban ASAP including currency. The equivalent of betting that a sick or injured person will die and if they do you get a payout! Immoral practice, unethical and yes absolute sc*m.
(Bloomberg) -- American Tower Corp. is weighing entering the race for a stake in Vodafone Group Plc’s €13 billion ($12.6 billion) wireless towers unit, people familiar with the matter said.
The US telecommunication infrastructure operator is exploring a possible investment in Frankfurt-listed Vantage Towers AG, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential information.
Vodafone plans to sell part of its roughly 82% interest in Vantage and has invited suitors to participate in an auction process. Private equity firms KKR & Co., Global Infrastructure Partners and EQT AB are already in the running, Bloomberg News reported last month. Spain’s Cellnex Telecom SA has also studied the feasibility of an offer, the people said.
Deliberations are ongoing and there’s no certainty that American Tower or Cellnex will decide to bid. Some of the interested parties may decide to form consortiums and other suitors could also emerge, according to the people. Vodafone expects bids to be made as soon as next week and may announce a new partner for Vantage next month, they said.
Representatives for Cellnex, Vantage and Vodafone declined to comment, while a spokesperson for American Tower didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
Europe’s phone carriers have started to sell off infrastructure assets to raise money for investments in costly fiber-optic rollouts and wireless network upgrades, as well as to cut their large debt piles. In July, Deutsche Telekom AG agreed to sell a majority stake in its towers unit to Brookfield Asset Management Inc. and DigitalBridge Group Inc. in a deal valuing the business at €17.5 billion. Cellnex was also bidding for the asset before dropping out.
These assets, which carriers once saw as vital to their business models, are attractive to investment firms thanks to their steady, predictable returns.

given interest rates and dividend rates are near equivalent in the current market, 3 cant charge a market interest rate for its investment as earnings wouldnt cover it. that makes me think the CMA will approve the merger in some final form which might even be an IPO
