Must mean the Dutchess of Sussex is buying us.

All the best PDLers

Doing some quick math, interesting to note that over only VH's last seven dealings (from 25 July 2017) he acquired 316,000 shares for total cost of £6,494,399.83. Of that, £1,470,149.83 appears to be off the market (purchases), but £5,024,250 subscription. That is the position only since July 2017. Albeit he only has an hononary position, he remains active in the banking space. One wonders what he must feel about that (at least) £6,494,399.83 - especically the £5,024,250.

Mr T - "Jessica" as we know her, appears to be dealing only with outbound marketing and not inbound PR.

Mr T & Optomist999 - so we have a public poster who claims to have visited Metro Bank branches but, is telling porkies...

wait,... that reminders me of someone...

The challenger bank was meant to start welcoming customers seven weeks ago at a "grand opening party"

Your first post was :
Popeye62 - Opinion: "Strong Buy" - "New Shareholder" : 17 Dec 2019 16:15
"I've been watching this very closely for a while...I will be buying in this Friday. "

It was not until after your 10th (or so) post, I smelt a rat:
Popeye62 - "Interesting reading regarding shorts at over 8%" - 16 Jan 2020 07:49
"It was really interesting reading all the posts yesterday regarding the shorts on Metro. As one contributor pointed out, the shorts have decreased significantly from where they were at one point, yet the SP has failed to rise. Is it possible that those shorts closing, have effectively propped up the SP artificially? And the SP could be a lot lower than it currently is, had they not closed some of their positions. With regards to Odey only increasing by 0.72%, as one poster eloquently puts it. "Only 0.72%" still equates to over 1.2m shares. This is still a significant amount of stock. Metro is still a high risk play and certainly not for the faint hearted. The SP could move significantly in either direction. This share now desperately needs some news, and I for one hope it's good. I'm still looking to take a stake."

I have done my homework. You have done nothing.

i should say that Cud's link links back to the ES - matlot hinted at ES news...

given I made the same point earlier in different context, point taken.

"Who was moaning about marketing manager"
- did it prompt action?

Popeye - why are you posting claims that are not true and deliberately provocative?
You claimed to be a shareholder - I simply showed that you were not.
You claimed to buy in - I simply showed you did not.
You called me "thick", "idiot", "fool", "limited intelligence", "village idiot", "devil's child" - I posted company info.
You wanted to move on and post on compant matters - but the very next day you were back making personal slights.
You wrongly claim I said I was a "top poster" - when in fact I pointed out I post info, research and links about Metro (you do not).
You wrongly claim I lied about you being filtered - again, you were filtered. I emptied the filter at the end of the day. Yet there you were again - trying to ingratiate yourself attacking me. Why? Because I pointed our your approach is trollish?

Pokerchips - Wasatch Advisors Inc are invested in 255 companies - wouldn't that suggest they know a teeny-weeny bit about investing???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

matlot - safe trip. is it business?
On BUR - I was about to buy again at 660 and saw the down arrow post and held off. I noted you were right there. :)

Rob - if you remind me early Feb I should be able to post the January position.

Rob - in December, according to my reading:

Carmignac Gestion Luxembourg S.A. - added 0 shares
Vanguard Group Inc - added 7,555 shares

Interestingly Morningstar opened its position in December and added 1,538,077 shares.

Clowns 'R' Us - "Hello, is that Wasatch Global Investors? ...
WGI - "yes"
Clowns 'R' Us - "The one with $21B under management?....
WGI - "yes"
Clowns 'R' Us - "The one with 3.94% of Metro Bank?....
WGI - "yes"
Clowns 'R' Us - "Are you aware that a short fund has upped their position by 0.04%? and that consensus of the new LSE free-to-subscribe posters who do not hold a position is that the SP is heading to 180 and then 140 etc.?"
WGI - CLICK.

Thanks Discus1.

The 5 largest IIs have all been increasing their holdings:

Wasatch Advisors Inc. (3.94%)
Davis Selected Advisers LP (3.64%)
Carmignac Gestion Luxembourg S.A.(2.69%)
Vanguard Group Inc (2.53%)
Phoenician Capital LLC (1.86%)

URGENT: Can someone call each of them up and tell the professional, sophisticated, investors that they are all fools? For, according to posters on the LSE Metro BB the funds shorting Metro have the inside scoop and 'must know' something.
