Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares

Jeremy Corbyn was right not to sing the Natonal Anthem and its a poor song anyway - that was my earlier podcast today which you can hear HERE. In terms of the markets it is all my Christmases at once - a chance to comment on friends including the greedy bastards who run Vislink (VLK), fraudster Rob Terry, Daniel Stewart (DAN), Imaginitik (IMTK), ValiRx (VAL), Motive TV (MTV) and also on SeaEnergy (SEA) and Avanti Communications (AVN). Then there is comment on the bad AGM result at Hotel Corp (HCP) - victory for the crony capitalist bastards on the board - all that is wrong about AIM. And I start with words of praise for my pal Jim Mellon noting events at Copper Development (CDC) and also at Glencore (GLEN) - is this a Burmah Castrol moment?

I am short of Avanti.To be fair,they do clarify later on in the RNS that they do have net debt.

Great bearcast!
Top marks too on your observations regarding our “National Anthem”. I’m not a huge fan of belting out this song either….. yeah, not really into singing out in praise and glorification of our ruling incestuous imperialistic Germanic family!
Whatever else, JC isn’t a hypocrite… what a change….. a politician of conviction and courage!!!!
Tom, what’s your take on Mr Levis’s attack on the integrity of Malcolm Graham Wood? I was under the impression that Mr Wood enjoyed the highest of repute within the investment community.

That I accept – but the bullet point at top of release was just a lie & since some folks dont read past the first few lines I think AVN has sinned badly

Thank you on all counts. Re BMD’s allegation. He has either libelled MGW ( who I would not know from Adam BTW) or he has exposed something that needs exposing. I have picked up both Directors talk and Tips TV for the same issue and if MGW is taking payment to write research and not declaring it that needs to be exposed and Id congratulate Dan for doing so, whatever our other differences. I rather think that BMD is correct on this one.

Cheers.

What a trivial fuckwit country and media we have baying for a descent man JC, to kiss the Queens arse, and sing our cringe worthy national anthem, a crony phoney notion of despot patriotism, nepotism, how pathetically servile we are. Stand proud and free from the tyranny of the status qou,and don’t let the elites and establishment browbeat you with this servile bullshit, masquerading as god and monarchy.

Never mind all that ……….. onto something more important ……Defeating ISIS and stopping the mass migration of people into Europe fleeing from ISIS terror regimes.
I watched the C4 documentary last night about British unpaid volenteer soldiers fighting alongside the Kurdish army to clear ISIS from the country , I urge you all to watch it too .
The program showed Kurdish women fighters fighting ISIS on the front line alongside their male counterparts . One of the women fighters had been shot 6 times . The women would do a dance together ( like a line dance ) just before going into battle . At one point a Kurdish women fighter was commanding Brits under constant fire . It was compulsive viewing .
More importantly it provided the answer to the migration crisis . All fighting age men from the migrating hoards should be turned back at the border and directed to the kurds recruitment and training area . At the moment the Kurds are recruiting fighters via social media . They need more fighters . They provide the kit , weapons and training .
Clearly all males of fighting age fleeing the country and not helping the kurds clear ISIS need to examine their own conscience . We Brits would never have fled the UK in the 2nd world war under the invasion of Nazi Germany . We would have fought for our country to the last man . Just as the French resistance did . The truth is many young men fleeing are simply economic migrants addicted to the west and its luxury goods lifestyle . Their behavior is shameful . The borders should be closed to fighting aged men and only women and men over 60 allowed in . Make them fight to defeat ISIS .
These young men fleeing their own country are currently not part of the solution THEY ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM .

Damned fine post Wildes. Of course it’s easy for us to say, but the thing to remember is that the more young and able-bodied men who flee the worse conditions must get for those left behind who are less capable of standing up to this insane evil. Not sure about the line dancing, though.
