Deutsche Boerse - Round 2

We still have not received a reply from the prominent investment firms that fought against the Deutsche Boerse bid for the London Stock Exchange.

We wholeheartedly supported their campaign for the right of Deutsche Boerse shareholders to be consulted over the bid. But we are also firmly in the camp of those who think that this right should be firmly enshrined in Europe's Corporate Governance Rules. So when we made inquiries about the commitment of some of these firms and did not get a clear statement supporting this principle we got a bit suspicious. Was this campaign only a tactical ploy to allow individual funds to make more money?

Maybe they should publish a history of their their dealings in the shares of Deutsche Boerse and the LSE before, during and after the bid attempt?
