bonker99,

I was told by someone the other day ( a PMs refiner as it happens ) that only 50% of Silver is recycled.

Hello MarkBellUk,

I think BlackRock's average is higher they had 1.82% on 11th Feb 20 the price then was 356 !
Yes I have euroclear they only let me have end of month figures which I will post on here when they happen. Is there a % on loan you want to know ? Are you still in BDEV ?

MarkBellUk,

What were you getting for the median price RyeBay and Blackrock are short ? I'm guessing around the 170s ?

I think Tosca better get their average down sharpish

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet.

'Some of London’s most-shorted stocks found themselves among the top risers as retail investors sought to ride a wave that has sent shares in the video games retailer skyrocketing in recent days.
Education giant Pearson closed up 14pc, while fellow short-seller targets Hammerson, Petrofac and Cineworld jumped 12pc, 11pc and 10pc respectively.
In New York, GameStop jumped as much as 157pc during the day before falling back a touch to $331 in afternoon trading, up 124pc. Odeon cinemas owner AMC Entertainment surged 310pc before pulling back – triggering several trading pauses for volatility along the way and BlackBerry soared more than 52pc to levels not reached in since 2011.
UK online trading platforms creaked under the pressure of retail buying, with IG, CMC Markets and eToro all experiencing outages.
On the FTSE 100, Hargreaves Lansdown rose 6.3pc on hopes of a new wave of the retail investment boom that has spread across markets during the pandemic.
Brokers urged caution after thousands of small investors placed bets on the surging shares. Hargreaves Lansdown’s Susannah Streeter said: "It looks as though a similar game may be playing out to what has been happening with GameStop."
She advised investors to "take a deep breath" before "following the herd".
The jumps across shorted companies may have also been driven by frightened short-sellers seeking to close out their bets against the companies.

Boyobach,

Well in a few days I can give you the stock on loan figure, are you suggesting it might be anywhere close to zero ?

Ironhide,

Try buying 38m shares. Euroclear shows 11.2% stock on loan at end Dec 2020 was 11.21%

Godders99,

I thought in the markets people are proved right when they 'win' and make money out of their positions.

'maybe im wrong. but I have been proved right historically. Ive only ammased a huge position by doubling down and doubling down.'

Dark_Knight2020,

Sure that depends upon the conviction Rye Bay, BlackRock and others have that this is going to get cheaper.

Ironhide,

I think those two have been worked so could be buy or sell. Its odd that the larger one after the smaller was at a better price?

I am a buyer again in the low 7s

CUsunrise,

I hear what you are saying but.
As Gold is priced in US Dollars a fall in the dollar means a rise in the Gold price, even if as you point out that value of $1 is less.
Some might argue Inflation = Gold price rise Fiscal stimulus = Gold price rise QE = Gold price rise and Low Interest Rates = Gold price rise. Others like me might argue Huge Renewables roll out = Silver and Copper price rise

Godders99,

This could ( I repeat could ) see an SP well in excess of 50p and everybody knows it !

Sotolo,

I don't see much reason why the Gold/ Silver Price should fall too much more. My view is any dips will be heavily bought into.

sharefall,

No way Tosca have loaned their shares, you may be confusing them with a much more passive pension fund.

Why haven't Tosca increased their holding here yet ?

DarkKnight2020,

Ha ha alls fair in love and war as they say !

ROCKLAWN,

Most hedge funds insist their partners put their own money in to the fund. Many hedge funds have been completely ruined by shorting Tesla for example. Robinhood and retail traders are also causing them massive pain. Just Google hedge funds that folded with massive losses or here is An example

MarkBellUK,

It was NT to buy on HL at about 4.10pm today

breaktwister,

It looks like the stock was mostly sold to 'flippers' so they are probably selling the stock above 200. Should be done soon though surely !
