Well if anyone is in a position to play with those sort of numbers, they're lucky. The vastly larger proportion of people on here, and those who don't participate on boards, simply cannot afford to play the game at that level. This is bothersome, as it means nearly all of us are at the mercy of the whims of a few, as is the market cap of many small companies, however hard they work. OK, nothing to be done perhaps. Shorting on the other hand should, imo, be banned. How can it be moral for someone to be able to borrow my shares without my knowledge or consent purely with the aim of reducing their value? Of course the lawmakers are wealthy people who, as vested interests, benefit from it, so nothing is likely to change. But perhaps a debate for another time.
I'm minded to have a go.. sell 10k worth at 15 with a view to buying back at 12. But in the past, whenever I've tried this, I've lost badly. I just wish the bang would happen. Then I can get out of this game.
