Default PORSCHE BUYS 20% OF VOLKSWAGEN?

I have just heard that Porsche has bought a 20% share in Volkswagen. Interesting when you consider Porsche does not have money to run at Le Mans but has money to buys Volkswagen shares.

Do you guys know any more of this?

Porsche should be congratulated for killing shareholder value. VW is a lame player IMO... their business model needs an overhaul the German authorities will not accept. Recipe for disaster?? Many think so

It's the f*ck-up Piëch doing his work again. EU court struck down and voided the former rules that noone was allowed to own a bigger part of VW than the state.

The reaction? Porsche stock fell almost 10%...
