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.
The story that I think truly shows the value of ShareProphets this week is: SHOCKING: ADVFN promotes an insolvent mini bond ponzi - welcome to Burrito Bonds by Tom.
As far as I can tell - this still has not been covered by the deadwood press. Unsuspecting punters across the nation may eat their not untasty Chilango burrito and be tempted to invest without the full picture.
But what truly represents the importanct of ShareProphets and what we do that the deadwood press doesn't, our secret sauce as it were is this: we do the work.
The Burrito Bonds story wasn't a brown-envelope-in-a-dark-car-park operation. Tom read the prospectus. Then he looked at the financials from Companies House. You'd think all financial news organisations would do this. You'd be wrong.
