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.
The first “deal” announced by fat Aussie share ramper for Lenigas Cuba (CUBA) after its disastrous IPO was shown to be a total rum n coke within hours HERE. No wonder no-one bought the shares. Today’s RNS is even more preposterous. Who signs off on what is patently total bollocks?

I hear the £100 unpaid debtors on the balance sheet were dissatisfied customers who found the “holiday extras” of water boarding sessions not terrifying enough and declined to pay .

What cloud was that, oh er 9, I wonder why??? you would have to be on that.

Any truth in the rumour they’ve put in a bid for Guantanamo and intend to turn The Bay of Pigs into a paintball games facility? They could film it all complete with Medieval interrogations and set it to music to drown the screams.
Guests could play prisoners or guards but the guards would be 5* and prisoners 0*
The TV audiences could vote on which prisoner to interrogate, the practice to be used and which guard(s) do the job.
As a first series we could encourage a few MPs to take part, change from guard to prisoner on a weekly basis again based on TV votes.
Winner in the prisoner category would win a trip to Botany Bay, suitably shackled below decks on a tall ship with DL for company.
Winner of the guard category be appointed Minister of Justice with special responsibility for prisons until the next winner takes over.
In anticipation of them taking up my ideas I reserve copyright to all above and any similar and/or developments thereof, and will require a substantial royalty. Cash not confetti by the way!

Oh dear, oh dear, oh, dear. incloud9.com with its shockingly bad website – last updated in 2006 apparently – and not even bothering to cut and paste a Privacy Policy or Terms of Use from someone else’s domain. Both empty…a bit like Big Dave’s strategy. Embarrassing.

All this talk of Cuba and people finding they haven’t signed up for a ‘sure thing’ after all somehow reminds me of Sky Masterson’s warning about prop bets in ‘Guys and Dolls’ (where the prop bet was to take a ‘doll’ to Havana):
“One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you’re going to wind up with an ear full of cider.”
Sky did OK in the end but it sounds like there’s quite a few LGC punters with cider in their ear at the moment.
[Thanks to IMDB for helping me remember Sky’s exact wording!]
