April was the 13th anniversary of ShareProphets and we forgot to make mention of it. The traditional 13th anniversary gift is lace, so feel free to send some lace pyjamas to Tom, c/o ShareStock in Wales. Poking around in the archive, I see that since 2013, ShareProphets has published 50,372 articles. From that, here are the 20 most read ShareProphets articles.
In every country that Phorm (PHRM) operates in, the story is the same: initial excitement and share ramping, placing to fund mammoth cashburn, public outcry over its spyware and eventual closure. Now it's time that Phorm told us the truth about Turkey.
The fraud that is Worthington PLC has issued a statement saying that it has reported ,me to the Police for publishing documents which it appears to concede are genuine. Thanks for clearing that matter up. Worthington says the documents were stolen although they make it clear that was not by me. Indeed.
Darren note: the irony here is that while BBMs celebrated Tom being reported to the Old Bill it was the Worthington directors who ended up being charged and in Court! You may also remember that the first CEO to send us a lawyer's letter ( a week after we launched the site) , again cheered on by BBMs, Mr Pete Landau, is now in prison for fraud!
The 6 month plus recovery for shares in Quindell Portfolio (QPP), after a quite powerful bear attack on the company, is almost enough to make us forget that during the dark days of May there may have been some who were fearful of a terminal decline for the stock here.
Previously writing on “data science and machine learning” technology company Insig AI (INSG), last month I concluded is there a funding reason for such an announcement to now be made?, I suggest very much caveat emptor here. Avoid/sell. Today trading, collaboration and “equity subscription” announcements.
Frigging hell. It was worth getting up at 3.45 AM today to trek up to London for the AGM of Vialogy. Chairman Junk Bond and CEO Robert Dean both lost their tempers, fessed up to some real horrors and Bond described me as “The Disruptive influence at the back.” Boy I had a party and the more Junk and Bob squirmed and seethed the more fun I had. This company is a total shambles.
One of the more surprising tweets I received last week was from a lady in the grim north called Kate (@modelsforkate) who had for some time been a self-confessed Quindell (QPP) shareholder and did not like what I was writing so took nearly all her clothes off in protest and send out a tweet inviting me to “kiss her ass”. Whatever. It has subsequently emerged that Kate’s enthusiasm for Quenron might be influenced by the fact that she earns fat fees sending clients to its ambulance chasing whiplash and industrial deafness centres. But let’s still give Kate a platform. As such I bring you her selfie and invite you to post suitable captions below. Deadline midnight tonight?
Share tipsters publish their views in their own name and declare a position in a stock covered. Bulletin board posters do neither. Most BB posters are sensible folks but some are obviously morons in that they think the law does not apply to them.
By popular demand this contest is back. As last week I will award a bottle of wine to the reader who posts up the tweet or Bulletin Board comment from a Quindell shareholders which demonstrates his or her stupidity most clearly - the entries last week were brilliant. The entries in week one were also incredibly amusing. Whether that comes in the form of just not understanding how shares work, a willingness to believe the most errant nonsense or just plain ramping/peddling of TA gobbledygook, feel free to post away. As before Kebab cannot post his own comments as entries, we need to give the other morons a chance and he is in a league of his own. Meanwhile
Two weeks ago I was getting unmitigated abuse on the Vialogy (VIY) threads from Bulletin Board Morons. Life moves on and having been 100% vindicated on this one (I first said sell at 2.25p predicting that a greedy board would run the stock onto the rocks – they have and the shares are now 0.45p) the abuse is largely for Terry “Junk” Bond, the liar who trousers £100,000 a year as a waste of space chairman, and his colleagues.’ It is always the way.
As we know Daniel Stewart will stop being a Nomad tomorrow night and so shares in its clients will be suspended from the AIM Casino unless they get a new Nomad PDQ. So today China Chaintek (CTEK) announced that ZAI Corporate Finance had taken it one. FFS – Alarm Bells vicar? Due diligence? A list of ZAI bargepole stocks is needed now.
You thought Quindell (QPP) had gagged me with its threats? You misjudge me badly. When Quindell’s lawyers have read this please would they remember to ask your clients “did TMC contribute 41% of 2011 Quindell Turnover?” Think disclosure and bring on the legals, bitchez! Tomorrow I shall comment on the interims and then my wife arrives at the Greek hovel for our wedding anniversary week and I largely down tools until September. But for now I have started looking at Quindell’s biggest acquisition Himex. By way of background…
Rob Terry of Quindell (QPP) did a soft interview with BRR on 8 March 2014. You know the sort where the company pays to be asked easy questions. When asked about a full listing (which failed today see HERE) and how long it would take Terry said:
Just when you thought that the AIM casino could not plunge to new depths I now bring you a full expose of the biggest fraud of the year, Gate Ventures (GATE). It involves a series of characters all of whom have been involved in AIM listed frauds before. Shares in Gate must be suspended at once pending a full stewards.
The Bulletin Board Morons insist that the calamitous share price decline at Quindell (QPP) is down to wicked shorters, me, the CIA etc. and point to the purchases of stock by the board. But folks you have been conned, let me reveal who has been selling aggressively (to you, you fools) and driving the share price down, it is the Country Club insiders.
What next for AIM Cesspit posterboy Vialogy (VIY)? At this stage it is not clear but I am aware that the wheels are a turning. It seems as if Terry “Junk” Bond may have paid some attention to my open letter of last week.
The Quenron (QPP) shareholder register as at 30th June has thrown up another couple of stinking fish carcasses. They concern Himex.
Sefton (SER) has issued a trading statement. Given the widespread comment as to its (lack of) cash position you would have thought it would clarify that matter. Its failure to do so is damning. There is either a placing (heavily discounted – shall we say 0.25p?) looming or, in the very likely scenario that no placing can be got away, this company is toast. My calculations suggest that cash net of current liabilities/trade receivables is nil or worse – can Sefton clarify this as a matter of extreme urgency?
The company also declined to comment on the matters arising from the Gary Dillabaugh revelations of yesterday. Again one has to ask why? The answer: because it knows that there is no answer. Jim Ellerton has been rumbled and exposed.
And so what was said? The best I save to the end but…
