Never get between an investment bank and a pile of money because that is all they are interested in and can change tactics on a whim if that suits their cause. Some in the US are currently facing the prospect of prison which is a great outcome.
You can also bet they are playing both sides and will have a plan B. Has anyone noticed large chunks of DJ shares changing hands lately????
What beats me is why they seem to be accepting the Rat spin unless they know something no one else does. Don't believe for a moment that fully informed market actually exists.
