Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares

There was I sitting in Real Man in Clerkenwell tapping away happily on my PC when I became conscious that there was a man outside staring at me. He seemed rather agitated and was mouthing words at me one of which began with F and rhymed with ducking and the other one rhymed with blunt. Whatever..

Tom, when writing it might be worth remembering the old adage “What goes around comes around”.

Aha I take photos of Globo’s HQ you mean? I do not however abuse its staff with swear words.
I have a right to express my opinions. If you regard folks sending death threats in response or just rant-swearing at me as “what goes around comes around” you have a different moral compass to me.
Best wishes

I found the bulletin boards very unhelpful. Dominated by a few aggressive bulls that are very quick to label anyone a “deramper”.
I also noticed a personal hate-campaign towards Tom. People that seriously think Tom caused the share prices of GBO, QPP and/or BLNX to collapse give Tom way too much credit.
Shareprophets provides free information. This is very helpful for understanding the bear case for stocks one owns or is interested in. If you agree with the bear case, Tom can save u money, if you disagree, you can be more comfortable with ur investment. All of this is much better than being in the dark about a collapsing share price. Free information. Free is good.

Many thanks for this posting. I agree with you. I would add the further point that a lower share price is the friend of the LT investor. If folks beliieve that QPP/GBO/BLNX/SER/RRL are depressed only by “de-ramping” ( a silly word) they should rush to buy more shares & then buy me a drink to say thanks. That they do not speaks volumes.

Tom,
Honestly who does that? Who acts like that towards a journalist whose doing an honest job? How absolutely ridiculous.
Ignore him and ignore beamer too. You haven’t done anything wrong and, if anything, you’ve been right to call out stocks that are massively overvalued as such.
Keep up the good work, buddy.
Best regards,
Dan
PS – you forgot IOF from your list. That’s another best company in the world whose share price has fallen all because of you! (of course)

Hi Tom,
Install a camera above the restaurant so we can all have a laugh next time.

Libero- how on earth can you refer to this burk as a journalist. Admittedly journalism standards have fallen of late, you only need to look at the mail on line to see this. However tw is just a failed city boy, if he was any good he would still be in the city, trading, making real money. He stirs up negative sentiment and plays on fear, no more than that.

Not sure you know how much or little money I make from journalism but personally it has always been my most profitable line of work.
If you think I am always wrong no doubt you bought GKP at 190, IOF at 150p, SER at 2.5p, RRL at 5p, etc etc on that basis and are very happy as a result.

Which fool puts their life savings into one stock??
Shares can go up or down etcMonty9
Lots of unhelpful comment on the BBS but there is an occasional gem. I also appreciate Tom’s full on journalistic style although I think he is wrong on GBO – doesn’t matter as long as the opinions expressed are honest and I believe they are. It doesn’t really matter if he is right or wrong with an opinion, that’s the investors’ job to judge.
