"Metro Bank is debating whether to continue funding chairman Vernon Hill’s £120,000-a-year expense allowance into 2020, meaning the troubled firm could carry on paying for the multi-millionaire217;s lifestyle even after he leaves.

The Sunday Telegraph has learnt that the bank is choosing whether to cut off Mr Hill’s £10,000-a-month expense budget in December when he steps down as chairman and quits Metro’s board, or to hold off until March when his contract officially ends.

A decision has not yet been made.

If the bank’s pay committee opts to cut off his expenses in December, Mr Hill – who has already taken a substantial hit from the plunge in Metro’s share price this year – will be forced to pay..."

"The Durham-based online bank, ATOM, was co-founded by the former chairman of Metro Bank and the former CEO of First Direct.

It's raised almost £400m from investors, backed by Spanish Bank BBVA (with a 39% stake), Woodford Investment Management and Toscafund.

For now, it only offers fixed-rate savings accounts, a digital mortgage broker service and business loans.

But ATOM told Which? that plans are underway to launch an Instant Access Saver later this year, with a current account offering coming after that."

Statistically. ..you will only find value 2 times in every 10 , in a stock currently most shorted.

Look back monthly at what the most shorted stock in the UK was over the last 5 years. And their faiths

Rarely value to be found in them. Sometimes but exceptions

"Goldman Sachs chief David Solomon, meanwhile, deserves a most promising newcomer award for his analyst call last week. His utterance “I understand the question at a high level, Mike” was labelled “stall tactic — strong” by the Amenity wordbot."

"Bank of America researchers used this database to create a model portfolio of shareholdings in straight-talking businesses and short positions in evasive ones. Adjusted for executive optimism, this beat the market by more than 6 per cent a year in back tests."

"Analysts might say what they mean — except, perhaps, when assigning a “hold” rating to a stock that is a screaming sell. C-suite bosses can be more slippery"

Brexit means No MP's. Omg that's the coming weeks theme haha

Here is a part of a Lex post. Good read

"Evasive bosses: mining their language
It seems doubtful obfuscation ratings will reliably predict stock prices

Delta Air Lines chief Ed Bastian has potentially contest-winning form in ducking the question, according
Equivocation is the art of concealing the truth with ambiguities. If the chief executive is working on an “exciting initiative”, employees will fear the worst. If a finance director congratulates an analyst on a “fair question”, the scribbler knows no clear answer will be forthcoming.

Evasive language is becoming a problem for investors who crunch big data sets in search of buy and sell signals. In the past, they focused on numbers. Linguistic analysis is the cool new frontier. Processing wodges of text could be a way of quantifying sentiment and predicting where stock prices are headed.


Morgan Stanley last week published findings after machine-reading 135,000 of its own research notes. The investment bank claimed it found a positive correlation between sentiment in the reports and how shares performed subsequently.

Good results would do little. Bounce share price a little bit and give shorters greater value to attack

This stock looks like one where there is a deal in place..leave it to the shorters. ..and they leave a different one alone lol
