When Porsche announced that they owned some 74% of VW, these hedge funds had to buy shares in VW to close their positions.



As there were so few shares around, the price went up a lot, meaning the hedge fund "speculators" lost loads of money.Can some one explain basically what happened in the Porsche VW saga?%26gt; "Porsche VW saga?"
