I think that's it fxpro

He feels like a muppet raped by markets and his only solace is to try believe he is not alone

But he isn't alone

He has the cross-eyed greyhound marge

very well done holders - really expected this to tank on open.

1oughton/peter only revels in the minor losses of others to soothe his ill feeling about being wiped out on his major loss when he got wiped out completely on TERN....his one and only trade. What a loser living in a tent!

Metro Bank shares soar on ‘buy-out rumours’
Shares in troubled Metro Bank (MTRO.L) have soared in early trading, despite it sliding to a loss in the third-quarter and warning it may have to cut back on its growth ambitions.
It was trading 9.2% higher shortly after 10am in London, with analysts reporting mounting speculation of a buy-out or takeover.
The bank, the first major national high street bank opening in over a century in 2010, lost £213m in deposit outflows in September as it struggles after an accounting scandal.
But its £2.2m overall loss reported late on Wednesday was lower than some had expected.
Neil Wilson, chief market analyst at Markets.com, said rumours were “doing the rounds” it could be taken private or even see a takeover.

MTRO TAKEOVER Conference Call Elements

B. Bradley Golding, [73]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's Brad Golding. There are a lot of -- there -- in a -- really a follow-up to Otto's question. There are a lot of -- constraints are being imposed on the bank in terms of the dramatically higher cost from the senior issue, potential fines, potential increase in the operational cost. In February, will there -- will one of the options be that the bank cannot operate profitably given the constraints and it may be time to sell the bank? I understand that's a Board-level decision, but it's a -- this is -- seems like the 800-pound gorilla that no one has addressed.

David Thomas Arden, Metro Bank PLC - CFO, Company Secretary & Executive Director [74]

The Board are very focused on undertaking the evaluation over the next 2 to 3 months. And we've been clear that we will come back to market with the output from that with revised targets and KPIs. We can't obviously comment on any speculation around takeover. But just to be clear, the Board is very mindful of its fiduciary duties.

Craig Francis Donaldson, Metro Bank PLC - CEO & Executive Director [75]

But I would say, Brad, to be clear, we are very clear, we have a resilient and strong business here. We continue to deliver great service and win customers. And absolutely, we are building the plan that will deliver what we've said. And so we are very focused on our organic way forward and focusing on the organic way forward. But of course, as David said, should something occur, we will treat it with the right respect because that's the fiduciary duty of the Board. We are very focused on the organic way forward.
