Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Disclosure: I own shares in one or more of the stocks mentioned. 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.
You couldn’t make this up: ShareProphets has piled scandal upon scandal on to the authorities at the London Stock Exchange (LSE), with particular reference to the (complete non-) regulation of the AIM Casino. And so, with a golden opportunity to face down the critics the LSE decided that it did not want Tom Winnifrith present. No matter that he is a shareholder, turning up with proof of ownership and photo ID. No matter that, as a journalist, he had already been given clearance to attend. No, the LSE didn’t want any awkward questions. Is that because they knew that Tom is correct, and that therefore they would not be able to answer?

Just buy your shares three months before the next AGM . Pay a fee to your Broker ( about £30 ) to take them out of his nominee account and obtain share certificates in your own name and address . You will then get the AGM official invite to delivered to your home address in your name , with voting rights ………….simples
At the moment you will not be on the share holders register if your broker holds your stock in a nominee account . I am with Barclays Stockbrokers and it is they who are on the share register not me .
You obviously know all this ……… so why not think ahead ( something you crit companies for not doing nearly every day ) get your qualifications to entry in place and become part of the solution instead of the problem .
By the way …..Just incase …… I am not a cocksucker , wanker or any other sexual deviant and I am not going to fuck myself , thankyou very much ;-) Although I may be a bit thick .

All very true, Nigel. How can the London Stock Exchange possibly expect us to trade confidently in shares in Britain when their allegiance to integrity is so low?
