VW was notorious for having a small amount of free float and Porsche was known to be a major shareholder with designs to acquire more.
Plain stupid to take a large short position in a market like than. Idiots deserve a good kicking.

Conclusion - yet another reason to shut down hedge funds and jail their execs for market manipulation.
If they are investment houses and think VW is a bad business they should buy some other car manufacturer shares or not buy any car manufacturer shares if they believe whole sector is bad, but not short shares the way they do - it should be illegal plain and simple, and I think new regulation will certainly address that permanently.
Kudos to Porsche - that taught those scumbags not to short their business.
Blah. blah, blah....squirrels, ska....blah, blah, blah...comrade, glasnost, Nina...blah, blah, blah..........................

Irresponsible Porsche
Porsche irresposnsible
Porsche were responsible for the wild swings in VW. Perhaps we should exclude companies irresponsibly building up stakes for strategic reasons, with the aim of running the company longterm, and deploying technology, and only allow hedge funds and speculators to continue in their responsible manner lending billions to short stock and send companies out of business to make a fast buck.Tags: None
