Volkswagen AG rose the most in more than two months in Frankfurt trading as a potential agreement by Europeâs largest carmaker to combine with Porsche SE prompted short-sellers to buy stock to cover bets the price would drop. Volkswagen gained as much as 27.51 euros, or 12 percent, to 257.20 euros, its biggest intraday jump since March 26, and was trading at 257 euros as of 1:07 p.m. in Frankfurt. The stock was up 2.8 percent in the week through yesterday. It declined 15 percent in the first five months of 2009. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=a2Pcav5H0x_U&refer=home Never ending story...Short sellers still nothing learnt...
