Short selling

Have to be a little bit careful. Many readers know that I used to work for an Investment Bank in the City.

I know what I would have asked. What was the share price movements during the period when they were priced for the purposes of taking your bonuses.

What people do not seem to understand is that there is usually a ten day period when shares are monitored and then if you were given a bonus they would divide the bonus by the share price to calculate how many shares were allocated to you. Now try this for an exclusive Nick, rather than that Peston fellow. What was the scale of short selling during the period I refer to earlier, surely it would not be in the interests of people for the share price to actually fall.
