Prob why Matlot put shorters into groups.
GS shorting beghind the scene (maybe with another, say, ENA) for event purposes.

On conclusion, GS was buying for JCB and a n other(s) since Sept. prob 180-200 range. The results provided too good an opp not to hoover up the new shorter shares and transfer on to client(s). I note that they have not sold all. They have retained sufficient low % they can short (prob have been) and not get above 0.5% threshold, to keep lid on price. Once the hoovering and transferring is near complete then it should leave the disclosed shortest stranded .

Seems like people forget if there is an event a call can be placed on the shorts. Which should mean a rise before the pre- event closing price.

Beeks broke down the mortgage book. Most mortgages are locked in to fixed terms and rates.
Would a cut on base not be forward looking? The current business ok?

So there might be a preset price for accumulated stashed shares

As posted earlier, if GS was accumulating then they sold at an apparent loss...

now explained as an 'operational error', i think.

well the NYSE opens at 9.30am does it not? 3pm releases for us would be 10am for them.

So GS is working for JCB and another?
The holdings RNS was an overnight 'holding' position?

So, given we are at historic lows - did GS sell at a loss??

JCB adding 2% ish to 8.077%

hoovering the free float and then selling to funds / IIs etc to force shorts out?

JTM - does the sales volume even support such a sell down in a day or two??

GS notified for GSI - now GS notify a sold down position, not naming GSI?
