Here's the amended version: But I can imagine it has left a bitter taste in the mouths of <b>the idiots</b> who bought the share at issue price. The winners all grin and the losers say... "Deal the cards again." I think that you mis-wrote something, Corinne. Here’s the amended version:

I meant to say it was as if he shorted his company’s shares. The capital issue was indeed well priced and well timed. Buying back the shares at well below the issue price was an attractive investment. But I can imagine it has left a bitter taste in the mouths of investors who bought the share at issue price.

He raised money at extremely attractive terms. When the stock went down 50% he made an attractive investment. If the stock wouldn't have gone down 50% he could have made other investments such as paying down debt. At the price he issued equity at it was probably cheaper than his cost of debt.

He certainly took a short-term view of a long-term game. He got away with shorting his company’s stock this time. He certainly took a short-term view of a long-term game.

He basically shorted his own company's stock, and then he told the market that he had done so, and then he closed his position and paid a huge dividend. I wish I had seen that statement he issued about no company doubling in value in 6 months... I would have shorted the shit out of that shit. that’s definitely a baller move – you guys realize what he did right?
