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.
On 27th May AIM Cesspit listed Astar Minerals (ASTA) lied to investors in an RNS. This overvalued POS Company is run by a bucket shop stockbroker and anyone buying the shares needs their head examined. The fact that it took The Sheriff of AIM only ten minutes to unearth this lie shows what dumb and unprincipled mothers these folks are.

Bravo Tom. On point. Astar have a lot of explaining to do. These are the facts that are not bandied around on bulletin boards

Another total balls up of a tip by Holliday ……… the guy certainly needs one ( a holliday ) They dont make barge poles long enough . What the hell was he thinking . I just cant imagine any possible reason why anyone would invest in that . It defies belief . Holliday claims his site do more due dilli on tips than competitor sites ( or was that Desperate Dans site ) However much dilli he did do …. it was not enough.
Words fail me at this point .
I need to go and have a lie down
Where are my meds ?

Thanks for highlighting these issues and exposing ever more dodgy dealings, but could I ask that you refrain from referring to these shares as “POS”? As a (small) shareholder of Plexus Holdings PLC (Epic: POS) it gives me a heart attack every time I see it!

I think Tom has been fair giving both sides of the tape, I was not tipping the stock yesterday as I tipped it at 1p via social media, mysite as you refer has covered many companies which have done exceptional. I have also contributed to some of the biggest and quickest gains this site has seen!!! Granted a few dipped but then that’s the way it goes….. If Wildrides wants to ride me for tipping winners that’s his business, ASTA from 1p has been rewarding (you can’t argue with that) My call on Ocado at £6 was too , large or small the same principles are followed
Keep you pecker up folks

Guys Like you Tom and James Parter for me think too small, to low of others, just like the frog at the bottom of a well. He thinks the sky is only as big as the top of the well and everyone around him is a frog!!!! If he surfaced, he would have an entirely different view. that’s what you both (Tom and James) Need to do … the world is far bigger then you two and if you were big enough men you would apologised, the world is full of good guys who are genuinely trying to make money out of AIM the right way and help others along the way …. Open your eyes
