LTI follows LLOYS (apparently) on a greater basis that MTRO. Would it not have been cheaper to buy 1 LLOY share and maintain the account? After all, it would have been a less risky purchase according to LTI.

hold on, no one is holding you here. if you are bored stating the reason why you believe that there is no case to invest, why are you hanging around? at least you would not need to "say the same thing over and over".

of course, you have your view - based on YOUR PERCEPTION of the analysis of the holders of short positions (or are you privy to undisclosed info)? and on the basis of that view you have your "non investment", that is, not no investment, but just no serious investment - but yet again, why would you make a serious investment because you also do not believe in l;arger investment because that is "gambling".

You are not answering the questions, just being evasive.
And, how is he erring on the side of caution? if he both holds the view that there is "no basis" and at the same time made a purchase?

"I see no problem with LTI is erring on the side of caution."
How many seats away are you from LTI?
How is he erring on the side of caution? Buy buying but only buying 1 share?

And finally, what "moment" are you lookign for?

How do you define "gambling"?

For someone who sees "no basis" for a proper investment in Metro, why do you keep hanging out here? and repeating the same view?

What is your basis for holding the view that there is "no basis" for a proper investment in Metro at the moment?

imagine the profit had you gone in proper?

PAST TENSE:

"Mr Odey, known as one half of the City's "Posh and Becks", was among the hedge fund managers who cashed in on the downfall of Metro Bank early last year. He had the biggest short position in the bank in March, when £1.3bn was wiped from its market value."

"Ropes & Gray London attorney Kiran Sharma told the publication that Metro ... could encourage other investors specializing in distressed assets, or another bank, to submit a bid.

"Despite the barriers, some analysts say the current political climate in the U.K. could ramp up the U.K.’s M&A market and encourage investors to reconsider their interest in Metro Bank.

"“The fact that some of the [political] uncertainty has been removed will give some people more confidence,” said one unnamed source close to Metro Bank in an interview with the publication. “But you have to believe in the model, there’s no getting away from that.”"
