In my view the lack of clarity on the funding is putting off the trader/investor types, what is clear that without volume the Shard funding can only drive the price lower, it has been suggested that the 3 x 7m tranches of shares could go to Shard clients but if so at what price and will those clients sell on any reasonable uptick in the share price?
One has to assume Shard will start selling when possible, thus explains the suggestion the price/volume is being monitored, I would not be surprised to see some market maker games shortly, you could see a drop in the SP to the low 5p's or even 4p's to get the volume moving to 'accommodate' the financing.
In my view it would have been better to have set a floor price on the funding, even a conventional placing may have been better.
Watching carefully.
