anyone watching rio trade in london, page-20

The shorters of RIO are also the same racketeers that are involved in negotiations with RIO management about refinancing loans and/or managing a rights issue. And they have inside knowledge of those negotiations so they know exactly how and when to put pressure on RIO and they know exactly when to enter and close out those short trades.

Thats the problem.

The bankers and the finance arrangers and the underwriters and the brokers to rich people and the brokers to hedge funds and the operators of hedge funds and the analysts who publish "analysis" of these companies are one and the same people these days. Thats the root of the problem.
