Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
In this podcast I go back to the Paris attacks. What does it mean for shares. The truth is that I don't care, what happened is not about money. But I answer your questions anyway. Then it is onto David Lenigas: questions, questions, questions and more to come later tonight.

You refer to REM and you are absolutely right to differentiate this from the other Lenigas vehicles for one simple reason, it’s an investment company which has invested in minority stakes in companies run by other people. Not only that, the investee companies have real prospects.
Don’t waste your time digging around in the accounts of REM, the real action is elsewhere. For once, he’s got this investment right, although I remain wholly unconvinced that he’ll stick by his promise not to dilute shareholders in another placing, which will almost certainly be required in order to stand REM’s corner in the obvious fundraising’s for the investees.
My view is that that REM will prove to be DL’s finest hour.

I thoroughly enjoy listening to your podcasts & totally agree re AIM regulation.
But one thing that’m struggling to understand is your comment about there being only +/-35 AIM cos that can sustain divis. We have a large AIM portfolio for IHT purposes, which is doing very well overall, albeit has its fair share of disaster. However, out of the 98 holdings, 66 pay dividends.
All the best

I would like to make a comment regarding the Paris attacks.
Wars are won or lost, it can never be a case when you start a war, you can leave it at a time of your own choosing. You started this war, a war that has killed over half a million people and killed a country whose creed and culture go back thousands of years older them your own and you can just walk away and leave the rest of the world to sort out the consequences. Britain has got itself into the situation that not only have you been killing people from other countries, you have now started killing people from your own.
I come from one of the poorest countries in an already poor Africa and our migrant workers are some of the most exploited and persecuted workers in all Africa. But the companies that exploit and persecute our migrant workers, but these companies are not owned by Africa, these companies are owned by Britian.
Yet despite our exploitation and our poverty and because we have a high density population of Muslims, we are going to have to come and help sort out the problems of ISIS, what you don’t realise in all this, is we also have to come and sort out you.

Addick ……… AFRI is an investment company.
Tom ……… enjoyable cast . My solution to ISIS is simple . Given that when you bomb an enemy from the air they seek cover else where e.g the cities of europe which can not be bombed from the air. Thus the simple solution is ring fence the enemy with multinational troups on the ground and then bomb them . They cant escape and thus those that try will be shot or captured by the ringfence troup positions . The war would be over within a year . The fighting terrain is easy …… largely flat open desert . This is no Afgan with huge mountains and impossible terrain for a ground offensive that defeated even the Russian army .

WHAT?!! “Britain” not “Britain” for a start, PHIL, and if the workers of which you speak are African migrants what are they doing working in Africa?! And how the fuck is your inane rambling relevant to the despicable atrocity that occurred in Paris (which is in France, not Britain) anyway? OR FOR THAT MATTER IN BALI (that’s even farther away!)?!! I take it you expressed your condemnation of this by way of some sort of code there?
Wildes – perhaps long-lasting (but ultimately harmless) knock-out gas prior to any ‘boots on the ground’ given the importance of not harming innocent children should be considered. And it’s OK to be slightly irrational providing the sentiment is laudable in the aftermath of Friday’s evil. Just as well Churchill knew when action without trial is justified else the associated red tape would have strangled our attempts to destroy fascism! Jeez!
