Great headline: Confused.com.
Because most shareholders reading these forums should be.
For atleast 3 years, certain individuals (one who has been banned from LSE) have vilified JPM (et al) for shorting this stock. NOTHING, repeat, NOTHING has happened. The stock is still at fair value and you only have to do basic maths to understand this (as the brokers (4+) have shown.
If the job of a shorter is to bring a stock down to benefit from the SP changes, let me ask you this: why in god's name has it taken atleast 3 years and counting? JPM are the current focus of attention for shorting. Everyone knows they are above the law - ergo - they can do what they like because they can absorb the punishment. So why haven't they achieved their aim - after 3 years of trying? You must ask yourself what are they trying to achieve and how laong does this go on before they achieve their aim?
When are people going to understand markets for what they are: a mix of mild manipulation and sentiment which oils the wheels of the financial world. Nothing more, nothing less. Shorting for the thousandth time, is legal in the UK, it lubricates the markets.
JPM haven't targetted GGP in particular. They have shorts on numerous companies all the time and it fluctuates daily. If they did target GGP and concentrated particularly on them, they would wipe the SP out in weeks.
3 years plus and we continue to moan and bleat about shorting......why has it taken so long?
It's been rammed down our throats for so long now - many on here blame JPM and others solely for the state of the SP, yet when you do the maths based on the latest MRE(2) resource amount, we are where we are simply on fundamentals.
The SP cannot keep rising because of every good RNS or great podcvast by the MD, it would be astronomical by now. We are at circa 12p because this is where we should be with the results we have so far. If you won't accept that then you have been blindsided.
Please remind yourselves that we only own 30% of a discovery. Put it another way: someone else owns 70% of this mine!
We have only found just shy of 3Moz ore reserve.
We have NO income.
We have no funding statement.
What are the markets to expect? They quote on what they can see not on what they can expect to happen.
[Yes - I know things will improve markedly over the next 12 to 18 months but I am talking about the SP now and why it is where it is].
Yes it exists but shorting never has been and never will be the downfall of GGP, it can hold its own ground........very comfortably.
