Last week the German newspaper Handelsblatt reported that leaked documents they’ve seen from the country’s finance ministry warn that a so-called hard Brexit would have ‘grave economic and systematic consequences for Europe.

The saga of the financial problems facing AIM-listed (though currently suspended) DiamondCorp (DCP) has been followed HERE and this morning’s announcement looks to suggest that the end of the road is nigh.

Billions of people are at risk of getting badly hurt when this über-bubble blows. It’s going to be enormously destructive and take out a lot of wealth along the way, never to return.  Millions of jobs will be destroyed.  What people think of as wealth will evaporate as though it never existed in the first place (as it didn’t because it was not sustainable).  Political dynasties and major financial institutions will be ruined.

From the FCA's spreadsheet of short positions required to be disclosed to it, the following shows the shorted AIM shares with positions from 2016 and thus far in 2017 (by net short position %) - and if this position has increased (red), reduced (green) or remained unchanged (black) since last week...

You may have noticed a new chart and data box on many ShareProphets stories this morning. We've re-introduced intraday shares prices.

Hello Share Swiggers. As I write this, the share I love is once again putting on more value. However, City of London Investment Group (CLIG) can sometimes be in the opposite camp.

There were two phone calls I dreaded receiving last week. One concerned my father. The news there is good. He is out of intensive care but, with another complication this morning, not out of the woods yet. The second concerned me and my most recent blood tests.

Tension is mounting for those of us who follow the AIM fraud of the year that is Cloudtag (CTAG). Will any Nomad be so desperate for money that it agrees to act for this company and sign off on its lies? We will find out very soon indeed. So, perhaps for the last time, this contest is in honour of the Onitor groupies. As ever the rules are simple: Just nominate the Bulletin Board post, tweet or video starring the Sith Lord Zak "Judas" Mir that displays complete insanity by posting it in the comments section below. The deadline for entries is midnight on Sunday 2nd April. Post away...

I attended the AGM of WH Ireland on Thursday Morning. At the door I was greeted by a rudy faved individual who seemed a bit posh to be a security guard and who clearly knew who I was "Good Morning Mr Winnifrith" he said before asking if I had the authority to be allowed in. Of course I did. I was the appointed corporate representitive of a company which owned ten shares in WH Ireland and I had all the paperwork to prove it. After a while I established that this besuited bully boy was in fact WH Ireland CEO Richard Killingbeck, doubling up as a fascist security guard.

I read in the Sunday Times that the PC Nazis are on the warpath against the ten remaining FTSE 350 companies that have had the decency not to appoint a woman to the board. They will either do as they or told or the PC fascists will be voting out existing directors on this one principle.

Sadly I decided to rush up to Warwick to see my father on Friday so I missed out on attending the GM of Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO). The heading for bankruptcy company put out a statement which, needless to say, is a 100% rum and coke. Advanced was covered in the bears session at UK Investor Show on Saturday and we will have a video up of that in due course. Now back to that GM where the statement comes with our translation in bold

Those of you lucky enough to hold a golden ticket for the UK Investor Show know all about the priority seating and private meet and greets that you are entitled to. For the rest of us, here's a sneaky peek at the pre-dinner held at the home of the Saracens, Allilanz Park, on 30 March 2017. It featured an exclusive talk with Nigel Wray and Nick Leslau, Private Eye co-founder Christopher Booker's favourite covers, and a smattering of real, live Saracens.

Even though we had to compete against a beautiful spring day, the 2017 UK Investor Show was a sold out success. Take a walk through the event through photos taken by our social media team.

Paul accidentally went to the wrong venue so Tom hosted the show by himself to start, but then Paul arrived and so did the fireworks. This is a special live Bearcast recorded in front of a live audience at the UK Investor Show 1 April 2017.

The column was delayed today as your humble correspondent recovers from yesterday's UK Investor Show, easily the biggest and best of the 15 years that Tom has been organising these things. This would be my tenth.

Tom Winnifrith stands on the worlds tallest building, then flies a 747 using VR. But we only see him, not the realistic 3D world that he sees. The VR was supplied by RiverFort Capital.

We know we finally made it as a show when protestors show up. Today it was a group - name unknown at this point - upset at the concept of fracking, and in particular, exhibitors in the fracking business. 

It was a full house for David Lenigas, David Bramhill, Jonathon Tidswell and Gary Newman speaking on UK Onshore at the UK Investor Show. Diary date - 21 April 2018!.

Tom Winnifrith introduces a packed house for UK Investor Show 2017 for his Cloudtag talk, followed by unimpeachable proof that Nigel and Tom are in bed together.
