Mr I. You really hit a nerve there. I'm the mug who bought ARM shares for 70 something pence sold for around 50 % profit, thought I'd done really well. I then watched as they went to 20 quid. Ouch! Thanks for reminding me. Lol.
The endless conspiracy theories on boards about mms never fail to give me a laugh. Nobody is being fleeced. It's all down to market forces and people's opinions whether to get in or out at a particular moment.
Given that GSPC have debts of way over a billion it's hard to believe they won't be able to raise a piddling 3 million to secure an asset worth many times that. We would then be into arbitration which could drag on for ever. Hope I'm wrong.
