JRM

[_V_]

Nobody with a brain. The real question is, who bought them...?

Scooter Scot?

I don't think it's insider dealing.

Sanctions have been talked about for a good while and, at some point, pretty much every Russian organisation is going to come under scrutiny. It is a pragmatic approach from many angles. Sell them while you can, before trading in those companies gets banned. Also it does look hypercritical to be bad mouthing Russia while still investing in Russian companies. It's a potentially rare case of an MP putting their money where their mouth is.

[vetran]

should he sell his interests in EU businesses, since that is a conflict with his current role?

No the EU just beat electors not fire missiles at them, they don't have any missile I suspect.

He is rightly selling at a high before he gets heat for owning them. He is a trader after all.

what a stupid thread.

JRM sold all his shares in Russian Banks 24 hours prior to UK sanctions being announced (insider dealing)

You are triggering all the gov shills with this thread, they are all going to post nonsense.

ohh wait, they already did.

I don't think it's insider dealing.

Unless it's an amazing coincidence made by a blind trust who placed this trade months in advance to happen on that particular day... it's quacking like the insider trading.

More importantly - that PoS invested into Russian bank shares in the first place? That's not fooking ok for at least 8 years now.

[WTFH]

He is a trader after all.

He's certainly not a representative of the people, not a christian and lacks any morals or scruples.

[ladymuck]

Well I made sure I had nothing in my pension invested in Russian interests before the sanctions came in. I guess we should blame the BBC.

Sanctions hardly came as a surprise. And IS this insider trading? If you own shares in a company and you learn something bad is going to happen to it, surely you would sell too.

You seem to know a lot about him, certainly more than those I know who have met him. You may have been a teensy bit biased by the tabloid caricature. Certainly he has morals and scruples, they just are not ones you agree with. I wonder how you are able to speak with such certainty to his personal faith or lack thereof, that you know more than he does.
