<p dir="auto">I am a fellow investor in Genmab for more than 10 years and therefore an avid reader of any information concerning the stock. I subscribe to Blogbuster and read, via Google translate, the Proinvestor forum. Although I am not interested in becoming an active member, lacking detailed knowledge, I do have a question which could be of interest to the forum. Perhaps you could answer or post this view on the forum.</p>
<p dir="auto">My question concerns the short-selling and possible strategy:</p>
<p dir="auto">There is possibly a huge disconnect between the market-value and the intrinsic-value: some suggest a takeout-value 4-times as high,<br />
ownership is concentrated with large parties: &gt; 60% in firm hands, not willing to sell for anything less than the intrinsic-value,<br />
Big Farma is in need to replenish their pipeline, paying top-dollar for takeovers,<br />
Genmab could be next/ will be next....</p>
<p dir="auto">Now suppose I am a big player and I sell short. I use the proceeds to buy a bull product: turbo, cfd, and what not:</p>
<p dir="auto">The short-selling keeps the share-price under pressure: I can buy my turbo, bull certificates even lower...(or even regular shares if I want to build a position)<br />
If the share drops even more, I lose on the turbo, but I can close my short position,<br />
If the share rises, the gains on the turbo are much higher than the loss on the short position,<br />
If there is a takeover, I can gain even more by creating/contributing to a short-squeeze and then selling my turbo at the self created peak and closing the short position.</p>
<p dir="auto">I hope I did not make a total fool of myself by asking this question.</p>
<p dir="auto">Wishing you, your forum, an Genmab all the best from the Netherlands",</p>

It may be possible to create a sure-win situation for yourself.</p>
<p dir="auto">I see three problems in your case:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p dir="auto">You may be accused of illegal stock market manipulation.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Since your counterparts are professionals your marginal gain could be quite small. So to make the operation worthwhile you must do the operation on a grand scale. This could affect the market prices so your advantage disappears.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">If you succeed on a grand scale somebody else may go broke so you will not able to collect your gain. After all shorts and bulls are not guaranteed by the taxpayers.</p>
</li>
</ol>

The trick is the first scenario: if share price drops you lose on the turbo. It could actually be worthless. Where is the equilibrium in this trade ?<br />
For scenario 2 you will have to find the equilibrium for the gains on the turbo compared to the loss on the short position.</p>
<p dir="auto">Now this includes math to a high degree, but also your expectations for the share price. I'd say this is not easy to calculate. You will have to pay for a premium for the short position and pay recurring fees for the turbo.</p>
<p dir="auto">For me this would be a no-go. I'd rather watch the TA and trade the stock.</p>
