Understanding CFD's

Its very rare that you will have physical settlement in CFD's. Most times there is simply a cash settlement as investors tend not to want to own the shares. They simply want to trade the share price. This was different as they wanted to convert the CFD position into a physical position. I would imagine that Morgan Stanley were worried about the price rising due to a potential squeeze because of the risks that it could be considered share price manipulation. That's just a guess though.
