it looks like you were a bit premature in your prediction as it looks like 'the Arabs' are going to be medium/long term investors - Barclays were up 18% this week :wave:Thrugelmir wrote: »The Abu Jabis dumped (sold) their entire holdings of shares last year and retained the warrants. Making a tidy profit in the process.
The issue for existing shareholders is that when the warrants are exercised it will dilute the current shareholders.
So much for the Arabs being long term investors.

The banks are benefiting because more of our money was made available to them via "quantitative easing"
The banks are benefiting because their casino gambling in the derivatives market seems to be risk free because of this sickening notion of too big to fail
Can you spell corporatism? never mind too big fail, not good enough, so it failed is the only words we should be hearing.0
