    Nasty, I'm no expert on investment banks but I did glance at that ann' and saw MS borrowed [for a small fee] about 5mill. shares and then MS bought over 6mill sh's , [costing 68.01c each] so I guess they have been shorting ROC till the cows come home.
    Didn't the sp fall to 67.5 in a market downturn?
    Was that fall aided by MS short selling?
    I guess MS saw the much lower POO and the downturn in energy sector sentiment as an opportunity to pick up a guaranteed $100k minimum in a short turnover time.
    After all, if they end up with about 10-11 million extra shares bought around 68.01c, including brokerage, they can offload them without any brokerage cost for 0.99c more [69c Fosun TO offer] whenever they want.
    Then they can return those 5 million borrowed shares or keep them for a small fee and play more games for about a half cent gain or so.
