MSB Trading 2021 - paradigm shift, page-1307

In relation to Mesoblast shorting - there are only a couple of players with holdings large enough to lend to these parasites to enable the 10% + level they have taken so they are the ones to blame IMO ... and good old Alex W from Thorney has openly admitted trading Mesoblast "around the edges" so I am sure that includes lending shares out for shorting purposes !


Naked short selling is illegal in Aus.

Yes @alhambra it's also illegal in the USA as well, along with market manipulation - doesn't mean it doesn't happen in both countries though ... people are delusional to think that just because something is illegal in the sharemarket that it doesn't happen

..... sad part is us retail mugs only find out when the culprits get caught and the damage has already been done
