It's kind of hard to tell because Paul Hopper had over 75 million in September and Charles Walker over 27.8 million - but in the September list I guess it only shows individual accounts, where as the two day old top five maybe shows their collective direct and indirect holdings.

But it certainly looks like Platinum (listed under HSBC Custody Holdings in Sept) have been our big seller, dropping maybe over 46 million shares into the market.

Perhaps they have had cash calls because of falling world markets?

Platinum have often been sellers, but a year or so back they sold loads just before the sp flew - so they aren't that smart!

When they stop selling hopefully the brakes will be off!
