		<description>In fact no-one can ever estimate how much shares there are still left in circulation, for example, even big banks are now below trading average because of the current turmoil. Hedge funds looked at the financial report of Volkswagen and came to the conclusion that the share price was to high (fairly obvious that one), with a P/E of over fifty at some time. Even so, they too knew that Porshe was going to buy these shares, but, as Porsche has a limited cash reserve ($2 bn. , I know, relatively limited...). It might pause its stock purchasing programme for a while, giving the stock markets a chance to cool off. This eventually happened, but in the meanwhile, the supply of shares dried up, unexpectedly, because Porsche did not stop purchasing VW shares, thus leaving the Hedge fund managers frantically buying back VW shares at any price to limit their losses. It is, in fact Porsche which is behaving irrationally here, because it should have seized the opportunity to dump it&#039;s shares of VW, creating panic under the other shareholders, who start dumping their shares too, and then Porsche could buy back these shares at much lower prices. Maybe Porsche suspects that there are other buyers of VW shares...</description>
