And Fraser Perring again.
On Thursday, the share price of the real estate company Adler fell sharply again.
Since Wednesday, the value on the stock exchange has decreased by more than a quarter.
Is this the next trick by a well-known short seller?
Is this the next attack on an S-Dax company in order to get rich from the stock market crash that is triggered?
It is not excluded.
But maybe this pattern is too short.
Fraser Perring, who is behind Viceroy, had already drawn attention to irregularities at Wirecard and thus had the right nose.
When the shortseller launched an attack on Grenke Leasing last year, the management board was completely surprised.
It turned out that some of the accusations were false.
But it also became apparent that the company had become too complex and in many areas, thanks to the founder Wolfgang Grenke, too confusing.
Grenke has now rearranged itself.
Fraser Perring shouldn't expect gratitude, and that's not appropriate, because shortsellers tend to make a lot of money.
They also put immense pressure on a company, which is then increased by further stock market speculation.
But it is also up to the companies themselves to keep their balance sheets in order and to question management structures again and again.
Because this is exactly where the found food for the shortseller lies.
