It seems a lot of Shorts aren't taken on Fundamentals - given the takeover activity which shows the true value or at least more acceptable value just goes to prove! And people think the market is always right? Not in the UK I'm afraid!

I'm amazed Barclays aren't subject of a takeover bid at these levels.

Even the largest Aussie bank might be tempted.

There are plenty of knock effects with low share valuations. Easy for predators to take out UK Companies on the cheap, which they are doing. Also it makes it difficult for UK Companies to takeover others, a strong shareprice shows confidence not only in the Companies but the economy too.

They are far more powerful than PI's, the whole thing is getting beyond a joke now.
