When your Short goes wrong - why is the cry always 'the market is rigged'? Heaven forfend, perhaps you made a mistake? Markets are volitile & can punish those only in a stock for 5 minute, get over it :)

I thought I had done just that! There is a huge difference between 100 pound a shot chancers llke COBO & giant bets from hedge funds going back years, who think MRW is fundamentally overpriced & are not persuaded by any good news. In a nutshell, what do they see that PI don't?

This is a genuine question, about a real threat, from a wall of money bet against MRW - if you have no answer, just say so.

Buffett says if you play Poker & can't work out who the patsy is - it's you :)

SBRY:6.99%, TSCO 2.70%, MRW 16.34% !! Most shorted of the BIG3 for years now - ratio 6 x that of TSCO, also pretty much unchanged for years - Any offers?

Is the offer that unfair? SP was 7.88 for most of January before the Bid - what will it be if it fails??

This is not the 1st time bod have shown their incompetence with RNS - I'm out as soon as I'm in profit. Nice bizness - shame about the bod - PI may well suspect market rigging :(

Nothing to stop Pop buying up ULVR on his own, now he has given up on Walmart/Asda.

Yes, IMO. Copper is a China story - don't forget Anglo Am, Chinese like diamonds too!

Hold all 3 to be sure. Repeat of the Power takaway - how do you pick the next one? - hold the lot! So UU. & SVT too :)

Top investment/Pension funds LOVE UK Water assets - remember Northumbrian?

- and Canadian Pension funds, they love taking over water stocks :) Hold all 3 as I do equal weight, but adding to PNN, atm.

You can always sell the profit. You are up say, 10K - sell 10k's worth of shares. Long term perhaps you should decide on shares you would hold forever in your PF, like Buffett.

She's playing with a full deck, unlike the ridiculous Lib-Dem coalition Greens, before Cameron saw the light & decided to 'ditch all the Green Crap'. We are swallowing the Little Fish, but we are Prey ourselves, to the likes of Cash My Chiek, Canadian Teachers pension fund etc, IMO.

Tesco sales up 1.6 pct in 12 weeks to Dec. 4 - Kantar Worldpanel Tue, 13th Dec 2016 08:19 LONDON, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Sales at Britain's biggest supermarket chain Tesco rose 1.6 percent in the 12 weeks to Dec. 4 as it continued to claw back market share, industry data showed on Tuesday. Market researcher Kantar Worldpanel said Tesco's market share rose 0.3 percentage points to 28.3 percent over the three months - the third consecutive period that Tesco's market share has grown, according to Kantar. Conversely the other three major players in the sector - Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons - continued to lose share, though Morrisons' is partly explained by store closures.

Pumping operations will be augment by donations of valueless share certs to mop the water up :)

Here is your post urging others to Buy at 188p. Buy Price: 188.00 Sound 19 Sep '16 I bought in a couple of weeks ago at 1.72. This share looks a sound Investment to me. High asset backing, Good cash generation, High Yield and sound management. A good buy and hold prospect. With special divs on the horizon if it goes nowhere pricewise there is still going to be a 7 - 8 % div for the next 2 or 3 years. Fill yer boots !
