RE: Shares on loan12 Jan 2022 17:43
Good Afternoon StarBright, I've been out all day and just noticed this discussion regarding shares on loan, so I decided to look at how many shares were actually on loan today, and was shocked to see that we are now at an all time high of 52M, up from 33.6M yesterday as shown on Ortex.
Now I don't know how up to date the Ortex information gets updated, as it could take up to 48 hours as opposed to being live.
What I do find strange though is that nobody confirmed one way or the other whether that 18M trade on Monday was a buy or sell.
It seems a bit of a coincidence though that there are now 18M more shares out on loan now, don't you think !
After reading a post of yours from earlier today you said,
"NCM/whoever looking to drive the price down, paid gangs of shorter trolls posting in collusion with the owners of the LSE bulletin boards, desperate shorters losing control, corrupt but colluding market-makers, trades “fired-in” in response to posts on this 'board etc. It has made for entertaining reading at times.
But it is no more than uneducated speculation, and should be dismissed by serious investors".
Why should they be dismissed ?, for all anyone knows on this Bulletin Board, you yourself could be part of this shorting gang, and by telling everyone to dismiss the idea, maybe it's your way of deflecting attention away from yourselves.
You suddenly appear here, with your eloquently written post trying to gain the trust of the board, that your font of knowledge is far superior to the average punter here. Telling everyone your an ex city boy and that all these rumours are from the mind's of uneducated investor's
Unless you can give us a shred of evidence as to, you are who you say you are ? then I for one, am still very very wary of posters like yourself, suddenly riding in like white knights, saving us all from harm.
Trustworthiness from members of this group has been earned over many a month, as we all get time to suss out who genuine and who is not.
You seem to think that trust can be earned by posting a few well scripted post that makes you look like you know what your talking about.
I don't buy it, and I will counter your earlier post, by asking everyone on the board to dismiss your posts until you have proven yourself.
This Bulletin board is like putting your hand into a bag of ferrets, you just don't know which one's will bite you until you get to know them.
