Seems Volkswagen has worn out its welcome and might be asked to leave the DAX.

Deutsche Boerse AG, operator of the Frankfurt stock exchange, said in a statement today that from Nov. 3 it may at any time remove a DAX stock whose weighting exceeds 10 percent and whose share price over the preceding 30 trading days had annualized volatility of more than 250 percent.

Don’t they realize that this move is just letting the Porsche Terrorists win?

    Nice. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen a hedge fund implosion.

    Dear VW:
    You are highlighting the uselessness of portfolio theory. If you continue to do so people will stop buying stocks. As we are a stock exchange, you can see why this would be problematic for our ongoing profitability. Please cease and desist having your share price go up and down.
    Regards,
    Deutsche Boerse
