What is it about stockmarket bears and Swedish companies?
Over the last couple of years some of the stockmarket's most ferocious bears, including Fraser Perring's Viceroy, have targeted ailing Swedish firms, such as Swedish property company Samhällsbyggnadsbolaget (also known as SBB) and more recently Hexatronic Group, a telecoms equipment company...
I see the bear has finally stepped out of the woods and begun mauling away at Swedish property company Samhallsbyggnadsbolaget, also known by its ticker name SBB.
Readers though might be wondering why SBB's shares leapt after a certain short seller started airing some rather fruity allegations (for legal reasons Betaville can't repeat the allegations here)...
Some of the stockmarket's most ferocious bears have pounced on Samhallsbyggnadsbolaget, a Sweden-listed property company also known as SBB.
People following the situation said that almost 10pc of SBB's shares are already on loan, potentially to short sellers of the stock.
Quite why these bearish types have begun to to target SBB - a Nordic property company focused on residential and social infrastructure properties - remains to be seen...
