Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. 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.
Oddly I had quite a lot to say in this podcast. I start on a personal note, feeling a confidence breached. I then move onto the buggers muddle at New World Oil & Gas (NEW) - really the shares must be suspended now until Wednesday. Then onto Insetco (INC) and lessons learned from a debacle we warned about and which the Deputy Sheriff of AIM covers again HERE. Finally onto the "Gary Newman rule" - his suggestion of locking in those taking part in AIM placings. I sympathise but I warn that it would kill off 400 companies on the casino. Beware of what you ask for.

DUCK AND DIVE
Sorry to hear that your father is ill – but shocked that some cocksucker saw fit to blog about your very personal affairs. Please name them so that I can blacklist their website and warn others.
Are you sure that NEW need only a two-thirds majority? That sounds a bit like foreign company law to me.

Sorry to here about your father and your step moms ill health and I hope they have a great time in Greece. Life’s short for all of us and the time spent together is precious.

He seems to be specializing in personal attacks on our glorious leaders at the moment for no obvious reason . Especially Ben who seems to be really catching an awful lot of incoming . We all make mistakes from time to time .
Forgiveness may be AWOL. But then again as Elton sang “sorry seems to be the hardest word” and may equally be AWOL . No doubt time , and plenty of it , will calm the waters .

I’m a sorry your father and Step-Mum have health issues. my own family are coming to terms with finding out last week that my wife is desperately ill. All I can say is i wish you all well

Also very sorry to hear the unfortunate news. Sadly I can empathise with that right now and, as you’ve communicated so well, it becomes all the more important to enjoy the here (or there) and now. Hope you all do.
On a lighter note, given your Emerald Isle heritage, I was a little disappointed to hear you state that where there are lizards there are snakes (this is perhaps generally true but needs qualification)!
