Betfair to buy back £50m shares months after its flotation

Sounds like freeserve.
They peaked @ about £14 and kept buying back shares.

Eventually they were sold for about 50p to some french firm

we should all shorten the stock get the price vulnerable for a takeover. How many would we need to buy

or, they've done the maths on what this new hike's likely to bring in and think that the shares are a bargain.

informational assymetry, innit.

Good business if you can sell something for £14 behave in a manner that makes it worth £7 then buy it back.

Oh so now the theory is that they ( the BF mgt) are doing all this deliberately to drive their share price lower ?
