You can get a reasonable view of their short positions from the June update - it was not that long ago. If they still hold these short positions, some have gone down during October and some have had a good run. The short positions provide funding for the long positions, so if the long positions go up more than the short positions they will still be ahead.

I still believe October is likely to have been a good month and the WLS share price will catch up once the October NTA is announced in about a week. I am not talking about a massive spike, but if the WLS share price increases by say 3-5c I expect the options will increase by 2c ie 40%

Just my opinion
