Ann: FY18 Half Year Results Announcement Date, page-214

Hmm, just wondering how you know this, not doubting you, just checking how you would establish this factually?

Page 5 of the report lists the 10mil shares as a deutsche bank as a buy. Of course they could then loan them out to a short seller, but can and how could we establish this?

Shortman site has a delay, I know, but has essentially has recorded that short sellers have no current interest in the stock and this is the continuing downward trend...

Can we know db are definitely shorting, other than going on past form of doing so? Surely with the company stabilizing financially and slowly turning around, no news of the class action against SHJ going ahead and a number of large class actions growing and settling anytime in the near future it would be quite risky to take short position now?

At least take a short position a bit closer to the next financial results (assuming you know them to be poor) so you can save some interest costs on the shorts?
