Because metro should take advantage of ANY opportunity where positive news presents itself, however as per usual the board seem happy to let opportunities such as this pass, am I surprised they've not commented, NO

The MREL situation is interesting, Dan frumkin has been pretty vocal about how making changes to MREL requirements would benefit metro yet he has made no comment since MREL changes were announced yesterday

No point asking those questions and expecting a correct answer, no one on here has a clue what's happening, been proven time and time again, if someone does offer an answer more fool you if you believe it, cheers

So that individual has been ramping from over £5, ignore

Or the super shorter whos elsewhere at the moment with all the positive chat in the face of declines with other shares lol

Matlot still here just as another name

Nothing unusual about any of it

Big smoke, you seem to have taken on spamming responsibility from you know who

The good news is, the master shorter / spanner has almost disappeared from view, if ever there was a positive sign then that's one. I look forward to results day, hopefully for a positive update

For those of you who aren't too sure how metro banks initial valuation came about, here it is. Sums up why the initial valuation was complete pie in the sky....

In 2016, Metro Bank took the unconventional route of floating without a full public offering. Deciding there was no need to go through the costly and time-consuming IPO process, the challenger bank chose instead to step directly on to London Stock Exchange’s premium segment via introduction. New investors didn’t need to be sold the story because it could rely on long-term backers loyal to its flamboyant founder and chair, Vernon Hill.

Things didn’t go exactly to plan. Metro’s pre-float private placement fell short and the direct approach met with resistance in the City, where prospective investors complained that without a roadshow to pull apart the business model, they were unable to reach consensus on a valuation. 

It doesn't quite work like that Dan, were up today because we were down yesterday

It's exactly what matlot used to do big smoke, you're right..it was my first thought also.

Master shorter

Metro didn't benefit from any increase like the other banks did there I'd expect it to remain where it is or thereabouts until results are released, most other banks are ahead of where they were 6 months ago, metro pretty much the same as it was 6 months ago

Metro are absolutely not winding down, the complete opposite. Winding down would be accepting fate and not executing against a whole new strategy. Nonsense eighteen

Agreed bigsmoke, the writing and tone of the message is all too familiar for it not to be the same person

Clutching at straws a bit there jimjam, still lower than this weeks peak and a circa 35% reduction on the price 6 months ago. I hold in hope of a sea change

A meaningful discussion like has been had in the last 1-2 years on here!!!, there's been nothing meaningful posted. Unless you've been one of the few calling out the nonsense, the rampers on the other hand, well!!!

What makes you think its shorts dragging the price down? Many share prices fall naturally in the absence of any positive news, decent updates or updates that tell you nothing. Shorts are reducing remember yet the price is declining, all we heard on here was once shorts reduce this will rocket. The share price is massively below the price it was at when shorts were 10%+. My advice, ignore the short chat, it's all riding on positive news and results

Same stuff different day from you know who...
