Merchant bankers can have a double agenda (double dip)
-(a) To manage funds on behalf of clients for a fee
-(b) To trade
In the case of (a) it is quite concevable that shares are bought on behalf of a client and in the case of (b) the same merchant bank can, on its own behalf, short the hell out of the shares make a killing and then go long ont he way back up making a double killing.
This is what was happening with CDOs during the 07-08 heady days of flogging
low doc loans- packaging the CDOs, flogging them and then shorting them.
It will certainly be interesting to see if LYC's share price will get back above
75c in time to trigger the $50 Mil retail offering.
Blame the legislators for not outlawing this double dipping. Marchant bankers say that they have internal firewalls in place to prevent this but nobody believes them.
