As an ex MFS shareholder...
I am still interested in the amazing sharetrading event Jan 2008...
margin loans..halt to trade...brokers...banks ...shorts...
unfullfilled trades? ...etc.
and I wonder if any other 'disasters'players were suffering, sitting there holding MFS which had fallen from $4+ down to $1 in a few hours.... and having to wait months for some word on the outcome/workout/value.

What if the likes of Storm held some?
Pretty difficult to alert investors re margin calls if so...hours to drop below margins/pool margins? and months to decide what to do...

I think Opes held some MFS because ANZ gave ASX ANNS..maybe of a subtantial holding? certainly couldnt trade them...if I remember correctly.
Correct my thinking if its wrong because i am not an expert.


Here's OPES article...
