Although HSBC brags about being the first to say something about subprime losses in 2006, we now know why HSBC has been quiet. Is that a good tactic? Judge for yourself as HSBC value declines:
HSBC, dubbed the “big elephant” in Hong Kong because of its mammoth market capitalisation and powerful share market performance, has shed $37 billion in market value since last Monday when it outlined plans to raise $17.7 billion in a deeply discounted rights issue.
HSBC’s Hong Kong-listed shares plunged 24 percent on Monday alone as large investors shorted the stock on hopes of buying it back after the rights issue.
