spread betting22 Sep 2018 19:57
Brown adder - you seem to know a lot about spread betting so here is a question.
If I have this right OM sell shares , trigger stop losses, stat panic and depress the price.
Meanwhile they short the share and rake in the money.
Then they do the opposite, start buying shares on the cheap, everybody piles in and the share rockets.
So here is my question, if Old mutual can manipulate the share price and make so much money, why don't all the other institutional investors do the same.
Or is that exactly what they are doing but at a level that doesn't register on www.shorttracker.com ?
