VW shares were up 180% at one point today as Porsche exercised all of it's options to by another 31% of VW (to add to the 40 odd percent they already have). That made the VW share price skyrocket. There's been a mad scramble for people to off-load their VW shares and cash-in on the surge.

Default I smell a bubble. VW overpriced. Short the sucker.

Maybe Porsche is jumping the gun...their goal previously stated was to move to 50% and eventually to 75%...accelerating the goal in these times is pretty ballsy.
