In what possible world are we going to get most of Cambay ? If that was likely GSPC wouldn't have bothered going to court. Another 10 to 20 % may be possible at a guess. Nobody has any idea really. In the absence of any news there is no real reason for this to go up much more short term.
I didn't mention shorting but since you did, I can't see anything fundamentally wrong with it. It's just taking a punt in the other direction, a bit like laying a horse on Betfair. You still need to be right to win.
You remind of the bloke who said "Just because I'm paranoid it doesn't mean they're not out to get me".Either that or the tipster who tips all the runners to different punters knowing that at least some will be happy.
I doubt if the UK has any less nuts than the US. However, it's far easier for someone who flips to commit mass murder if they already have firearms or just have to go to the local store to buy them. This is why the US murder rate is five times the UK's. Nobody is saying the rate would drop overnight if stricter controls were introduced but at least it would be a start. It beggars belief that morons like Trump think more guns is the answer.
Quite funny to be called backward by someone from a country that allows gun laws that might have been appropriate for the 18th and 19th centuries to cause utter carnage in the 21st.
Everyone will have their own opinion as to whether an sp is under or over valued at any point. What's irritating is blaming it on manipulation rather than accepting that the consensus opinion is different to one's own.
