Trader333, Paul, I would not disagree at all with your comments at all. However he has more than a few bob and can stand the financial loss. How his psyche will cope is a different matter!
The main reason for my initially posting however was to try and find out whether this would have been hedged and if so how. These 2 questions have been answered in part by you and other members (thank you) although I would like to know more about spreadbetters' hedging policies for individual shares. Any more help would be appreciated.
Also my last question about Man, Cantors etc above. Could any one please explain how that works?
