  3. Who wants to go with me and force them to U-turn this stupid decision. These guys are stupid !!! Look at what happened during UK banks rights issues in summer !!!
    Anyway this only serves to sharpen our resolve, SHORT SELLERS OF THE WORLD UNITE, WE HAVE NOTHING LOSE !

    P.S. I hope we get another rally to short into :D

    Anyway we still have South African equities and Eastern European currencies to attack, plus the ever silly Argentina :p
