I do not think Miles is finished with Victoria (VCP) yet where I agree with him that this could well be a zero. Meanwhile he has a new target where I am also a long time bear,

Dramatis Personae: The Mail on Sunday, a low grade rag whose financial pages ramp any scam going in return for scoops ( see Neil Woodford), Ben Harrington, a “journalist” close to fraudsters like Rob Terry and other colourful characters who will publish stories that suit the fraudsters and colourful characters which may or may not be true, Audioboom (BOOM) a grossly overvalued and overhyped tech play – see HERE – and Robert Bonnier a speculator whose share dealings have been a source of controversy for 23 years (see HERE).

As it happens today’s Q1 trading statement may be the last where he boasts about growing sales…
