Woodford said to be increasing his stake in Allied Minds; squeaky bum time for short sellers?

Here is an interesting tale about Allied Minds, a UK-listed business that recently came under attack from short sellers Kerrisdale Capital, a New York-based hedge fund.

In case you don't remember the back story, have a look at this FT Alphaville article:

http://ftalphaville.ft.com/2015/09/22/2140560/allied-minds-maligned/

Now, I'm told 10 million shares of Allied Minds have already traded today at pixel time.

This is a rather large amount given the average trading volume in Allied Minds stock is around 300,000 shares a day.

And good market sources tell me Invesco has just offloaded a 5pc stake. The buyers of the stock are said to be long-term institutional investors Woodford Investment Management (founded by former Invesco star fund manager Neil Woodford), Aviva and Oppenheimer.

Prior to today's stake building, Woodford owned 23pc of Allied Minds and it's likely, I'm told, he may continue to increase his stake.

Allied Minds shares are up almost 7pc at 400p at pixel time.

So what does this mean for the short sellers of the stock?

Well, I'm not sure but given core management and long-term institutional shareholders now own most of Allied Minds's shares how will short sellers be able to buy back stock to cover their short positions?

    A broken marriage can be one of the most painful things to heal from and can take a very long time to heal. During these times it can feel like the whole world could light up in flames and it still couldn't compare to the pain inside. My name is Nicole Cottrell form UK, I have been in great bondage for almost 2 years suffering in the hands of a cheating husband, we were happy and leaving well until he meant his old time girl friend and he started dating her outside our marriage before you knew it he stopped caring and taking care of his own family to the extent that he was planning to get married to her and divorce me, i cried and reported him to his family but he never listened to any one but to cut my story short i came in search for a real spell caster who could destroy their relationship and make him come back to me and our 2 kids on my search i saw people making testimony on how their marriage where restored by Chief Nwaluta Mallam Zack i pick his email and i narrated my story to him and he agreed to help me and after performing a spell on the second day both of them had a quarrel and he beat his girlfriend up and he came home begging for me and our little kids to forgive him that his eyes are clear now that he will never do any thing that will hurt his family again and promise to be a caring father and never cheat again. I am so happy that i did not loose him to the girl. all appreciation goes to Chief Nwaluta Mallam Zack for he is a Great spell caster and to whom this may concern if you have a cheating husband or wife or you need your ex lover back again. you can as well email him on { Nwalutaspelltemple@gmail.com } and his Website: http://chiefnwalutamallamzack.blogspot.com and this man made me to understand that there are only 8 real spell caster in Africa and if you want to see for your self you can view this link http://news.nigeriabreakingnews.info/?p=3146
