RE: A surprising day today...3 May 2023 12:21
I doubt Barcap is here to provide saintly services to newbie investors, he's here because he's interested in the company on some level and that interest would be based on the possibility of him making more money from it, whether by shorting it again if the price suggests he should, or waiting for a low enough price to go long. Or he may do nothing if the share price doesn't reach the extreme levels to trigger said long or short. I don't short myself, but I understand there's a good price for everything, long or short, depending on one's view.
The point I'm making in a round about way, is that I don't think Barcap's here to act as Joan of Arc - that would be weird - he's here (ultimately) to make money, just like the rest of us. In that context, his negative views are as legitimate as another person's positive ones. Tbh, his concerns over trust in the management and the opaque way they present their trading, seem not unreasonable to me. Ok, if he bangs on about it daily, it could get irritating, but I'm not sure that's the case (I'm not closely reading this board).
Bottom line - all views are welcome, right guys?
