Stock on Loan29 Aug 2018 12:55
So roughly 776m shares in issue, with nearly 29m still outstanding by the cbh, represents apx 3.7%. The main bond arbitrage players short 3% and stock on loan number 7.07% at the end of July (slightly up from June). Have to think that the bonds are pretty much covered by the shorts, and there is some delta being played around their option (hence the slight reduction in shorts over 0.5% last week).
MOL Catcher barrels, I still see as the main short term target. Should get some news out of Cairn end of the week, early next week on its arbitration case.
Still watching the 50 week MA closing in on the 200 week MA, not seen for nearly a decade.
End of next week can't come quick enough.
