Noveckinggood. Maybe the next movie on the bug ahort will be about Apple? You are right, seems overvalued. Not sure I'd have the balls 2 short it though

........not sure they are going to like idea of being in Customs Union. Let's just revoke instead, then NI will be the same as little England?

Agreed, there was a lot else going on news wise that week. It may have influenced deposits for a week or two but they continue to open new stores in major urban areas so brand visibility and deposits ought to be growing

The "bear" you mention was shouting 648p and long for several weeks. Best ignored! Plenty of bearish arguments alongside bullish, just dont take them from resident bb lunatic Sentiment rules

thanks for posting. Better than the Motley Fool...

A kebab with the missus?

.........it should simply be revoked.

I checked the short position. Tiny increases from ENA...on 7 October. The percentage was higher back end of May. Will some close pre results? I dont know. But if yes.....

Mtro is heavily shorted. But so was kier and that is recovering, so was Aal. Pmo is in the top 20 and is often seen as sector exposure to falling Brent. Mtro could be seen as exposure to a weak banking sector held back by Brexit and low interest rates. Doesnt mean mtro going bust....besides, many shorted when overvalued...should rerate when Brexit is resolved...if ...

Unless they know Q3 terrible, which I doubt given bond prospectus, surely a couple of shorts will reduce.

Novecking good....yes 9.5% is high but Barclays paid 6.75%. This is an unsecured bond required for regulatory buffer purposes so the interest rate offered is much higher for all banks. The differential for MTRO is 2.75% with BARC, or about 2.25% more than other big banks. I'd expect an asset disposal or securitisation soon.

They may indeed be keen on it going up a bit then suddenly turn on the algo's to knock it down significantly. What these people do is borderline illegal IMOV. Have you seen the way it can move down 10p in a flash down to a few algo-induced sells?

Dont forget that providing we're still doing OK and highly solvent, having shorts regularly buy back significant amount of shares can help increase liquidity

Isn't it simply that ENA increased when the SP spiked last week? They have at least a couple of weeks before the results to reduce again

Dear all. For those worried about VH getting MTRO on the cheap, his strategy could just be to sign. raise the SP. In 2010, my investing foolishness reached new heights at Minerva, commercial property co. At one stage they were at risk of going bust, then Nathan Kirsh, the South African investor, put in a pxxx-taking low-ball cheeky bid. I sold out just above his offer of 50p. The fact he bid drew mkt's attention to Minerva being sign. under-valued...within 6 weeks of me selling SP was 125p, so i lost £180ks potential profit. Could VH MTRO strategy be similar i.e. inflate the SP by hook or crook?

In saying it is so cheap he would take it private, he may be serious, he may be bluffing to whack the shorts , and create a stampede for the doors thereby getting the sp back to where it would be without those ****s

Matlot, you were telling us it was practically bust during the week. What a xxxx

...pour encourager les autres. Glad to see Whiteace reduce....if 1-2 close the others will reduce.

Has to be a good sign

I sold at 241p and 239.8p bought back at 224.8p and 199.91p. What a dramatic day. All in with 10% of my portfolio, ready 4 2moro.

Nobody seemed to notice but it's there in the trades.
