Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
Shrooom…another lump of sugar said the dormouse?. If you insist. I took the tab as I prepared to read the latest RNS from Old Mother Worthington Group (WRN). Sitting on a tangerine cloud a group of mad hatters posted comments franticly on the LSE asylum. Actually I haven’t taken any drugs for years but every time I read a release from Worthington I feel that I am having some sort of ghastly flashback. Is that Doug Ware I see chatting to the Queen of Hearts. Off with Tom Winnifrith’s head! No it was not the Queen, it was Aiden Earley or was it Craig Whyte? Anyhow, yesterday’s RNS was mind blowing. Shroooooom!

Tom,
Was it 30 days the New Worthington traded for? Would love to see a little calculation from you predicting how much Whyte and Earley could have made sp far out of this little operation.
Is it enough to walk aware from it now? I think so

Hi Tom, you said WRN would be delisted on Monday. Any news on that front?

Great stuff ! Proper goddess.
Didn’t she also write the greatest opening lines to a song ever ?

To be lies.
And all the joy….
Within you dies……”
