Well I beg to differ Elegance - you only need to look at the trade volumes over recent weeks - in the weeks leading up to the RNS you have to go back to way before October to find the aggregated trade flows that would even add to 1bn let alone 2bn and those historic trade flows include Buys as well as Sells. So no, actually, if there was any forward selling it was not significant....
In fact ignoring trades since that RNS you would have to add up all the rades going back to 20th September just to get to 1bn in aggregated trade volume, or about 6 weeks, which is just about the same trade volume as the previous 6 weeks.
So sorry but I don't buy that "forward sold" notion, the trade volumes do not back it up.
