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.
A friend from God’s Chosen Country asks whether I should be slamming Fastnet (FAST) for getting out of the oil business. Au contraire. Yes there must be red faces at this AIM listed Irish oil explorer but I think it is doing the right thing and that more should follow. I applaud Cathal Friel for taking the flak for doing the right thing.

Would have thought Fastnet would have changed into an internet company as they already have the name for it.

On the same lines, Chrissy has heard that Lenigas Cuba will be “floated” as a leisure activity company (pronounced Leniga Scuba), The company tanks will be pumped full of warm Caribbean air and (non-placing) shareholders will then watch it dive.
