If not for Tom – overhyping AVN over and over again 3 years ago , many people would not have jumped into this false prophet share. I can clearly remember him linking this site to the launch of Hylas 1 and Hylas 2 !
What a bloody farce that was.

Can’t agree more with Marwan. Over many years Tom hyped this share even when Evil Knieval first picked it as a short. Tom still gave us the long argument. How can you be so wrong!

Marwan & Teflon

I did indeed tip this stock ( at 116p) and was a believer for some time. But more than 8 months ago I admitted that I was wrong and turned bear.

Some folks made money on my buy tip others did not – it depends on when you entered & exited.

You guys are (I am sure) always 100% right about everything. We mere mortals sometimes are not At that point I think that it is better to admit that you were wrong rather than just a) forget about it or b) just plough on regardless.

You being perfect never face such dilemmas. Show some pity for those of us who are not right 100% of the time.

Incidentally I am flattered that you think my power is so awesome that I can talk a stock up to a £700m market value and persuade numerous City funds to invest tens of millions. Wow to think I did that all by myself???
