The real reason the sharks went

What is the real reason for the departure of the celebrity sharks from the marine park? Following a tip off from a source in the Hoi Ha bay area, we paid a call to an investment manager in a dingy little office in Kowloon Bay. Speaking on terms of anonymity, the manager told us that one of his clients did indeed sign off on the name C. Shark and that this client had bought heavily into the Algal Boom hedge fund and had a large number of shares of the Prime Sub mortgage company. It seems that in recent weeks the Prime Sub company has been letting in water where it should have been liquidity, and that the total value of the two investments could not be accurately counted because the financial papers were wet. “To be honest, we’ve moved office a few times,” said the manager, “well, how would you like to be hunted by a couple of unhappy sharks?” On further prodding, the manager told us that the sharks had been aiming to cash in their portfolio for “a few million” so that they could buy a debenture for themselves at an international school. A spokesman at the school told us that it was school policy not to comment on individual cases.

Some say that the disappearance of them C.Sharks was due to nothing but flooding. Afterall, we have also been getting a fair share of rain, although not as much as the Red Indian territories and the Big Ben continent.

And then in their own 'wisdom', the Reds have just officially approved the exodus of Red Sharks into the boiling stock market of the HKSAR. This could well make the departure of C.Sharks a permanent situation.

The forecast scenes in the coming weeks are:
1) The poor fund manager in Kowloon Bay will be moving office even more frequently, being then "hunted" by R.Sharks.
2) The price of debentures of the International School will rocket sharply (good investment opportunities).
3) There will not be any comments released by the School on the increasing failure cases still.
