The Traders Thread - Wednesday 2nd July (TRAD)     

Greystone - 01 Jul 2008 21:30

Kyoto - 02 Jul 2008 06:58 - 9 of 37

LONDON (Thomson IM) - UK bank Barclays Plc. has attracted a large spike in interest from short sellers in the wake of its 4.5 billion pounds cash call, according to figures from Data Explorers.

Analysts said the shorting looked like a 'bear contingent' in the market betting that further writedowns or capital raising would follow.

Data Explorers' assessment shows that some 9.54 percent of Barclays stock was out on loan as of the close of business on Friday, representing a sharp climb from between 6 percent and 7 percent before the announcement.
