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

AIM casino posterboy Mopowered (MPOW) has today announced a rescue placing at 5p. It was listed at 100p on December 18 last year. It was trading whilst insolvent until today and has been for weeks. The shares are now 8.125p so investors have lost 92% of their cash in just over nine months. But it is not all bad news: the lawyers, brokers, nomad, accountants and PRs assisting this POS will – after commission today – have now made more than £1 million from the firm. It is coke and hookers all round for the Crony Capitalists of the AIM Casino, and hard cheese for the shareholders.

“Coke and hookers all round” – love it!
MoPowered has been a car crash IPO – I feel embarrassed for anyone involved in this.
I think you’re right that city advisers just seem to chase fees irrespective of quality & reputational damage. It is getting completely ridiculous.
