@ghosty25, Hedge funds reduced their shorted Metro shares considerably and yes some Vernon Hill mates, a Billionaire picked up now over 6%! The Macd and RSI shows that the share price is about to turn the corner upwards. Given the Hedge funds will continue reducing. Metro is opening a new branch in Manchester!
Thank you for this. I did a bit of research this morning. A Colombian Billionaire now has a 4% stake in Metro. All the institutions make up 11% . And they have held their lose making positions.
I can see this going two ways.
1. Takeover as you've highlighted Or 2. The billionaire who has a track record of turning around broken banks does just that ! I think this could represent and excellent value medium long term holding.
