Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Last year my three part Christmas Carol series concluding on Christmas day featured the Quindell fraudster Rob Terry. In a prior year Evil Knievil featured. I was thinking about this year’s offering today but whose Christmas Carol will I be recounting?

paduardo
Andrew Bell for another year of shareholder value creation and sparkling twitter commentary.
CPPH
No suggestions required. It has to be Chris Oil. He is pure pantomime so its perfect – admittedly the little twerp will probably call the rozzers but that will also be entertaining.

Agree with Paduardo, has to be AB. And I’d throw you into the pot Tom, for your poor attempt at defending your mate!

Christmas?! It’s not even the astronomical autumn (the meteorological one perhaps, but that was contrived)! Anyway, I nominate Xiaohong Yang if for no other reason than inertia being the mother of haemorrhoids. I also think Bernard Cribbins should be taken down a notch or two.
Bobby Chariot
Oisin Fanning (SLE) plz.

Re. my last post (and no offence to Bernard Cribbins – I’d been at the sauce), Xiaohong Yang is the Executive Chairman of Haike (and something of a wild card entry – admittedly). As if I’m prescient (not with my track record), the commentary on the dreadful RNS it released just this morning is top of this site’s Stockmarket News as I type.

Well I have seen many thing on the markets, some good, some bad.
I have also seen many actions group form to either bring a board to account for past behavior as in Afren, or those of the present as in the case of New World Oil.
But never have I seen nor ever expected to see a group of shareholders, so ignorant and so slam dunk fuck stupid to get together and use any actions whatsoever including very unsavory secondary actions to damage other business purely to keep a fraudster Chairman in place and let him carry on defrauding them.
My nomination is for our old mate Steamy, the humble druid Brotherhumble and the long and strong of the QPPSAG.
