but in the run-up to December 11th (the next review date), if it looks highly likely that RM will be going into the FTSE-100 list, some funds will buy in advance of that date, in the hope of getting them 'cheaper'. The fact that their buying activity will push the share price up, or maintain it at the necessary level, makes the entry into the FTSE-100 index almost a certainty.
Somewhat akin to reports of a petrol shortage causing people to rush out and fill up their tank, thus bringing about the very shortage that those people hoped to avoid

Quite possible but not always true. I am still looking into anyone who is acquiring 3% and above of the company..

It states that this is the biggest shareholder after the goverment. Sorry but the staff own 10%
As a whole we own 10%. Maybe more with those staff that bought extra, if they've held on to them.
But it is as individuals that we own shares. Not as a whole.

From what I've read in recent months Buffet's funds are acting more like trackers these days since under-performance over the last few years has disappointed investors.
So, in that case, he will be buying but don't expect his funds to take a significant stake in RM.
