Afren (AFR) has defaulted as expected, and huge dilution is on its way for shareholders. I'm sorry for all genuine, non-abusive shareholders who are going to lose money in the company . I've been there, and anyone who has been in the market for a long time and claims differently is a liar. The Board of Directors are now duty bound to seek maximum recovery values for its creditors. Bonds currently trade at about 45c.

DUCK AND DIVE
Yes, Waseem, your articles have been extremely well informed and prescient (ShareProphets Rulez) and will surely have saved a lot of PIs a lot of money. Thank you. I look forward to your future contributions.
FWIW, my cleaning lady told me gleefully last week that she had scored £300 on an AFR day trade and was going to have another punt when the SP fell to 10p. I showed her your last article and she changed her mind.
