Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Tomorrow I shall be in New York with my daughter and her uber-mad lefty godparents. Yesterday I spent the day with my wife's family including her barking mad (Greek) brother in law. He has numerous good qualities and is very likeable but a couple of major blind spots. I managed to control myself as he claimed that the evil Jews were behind 9/11 and controlled global banking. Then he moved onto capitalism. He has it wrong but so does the stockmarket from the FTSE 100 down to the AIM casino. In 2016 chickens will come home to roost for both.

Nice Bearcast Tom ,
I spent Christmas at my sisters with the rest of the family .
My nephews girlfriend and her parents came round .
Her parents are only about 42 and have established a proper company in Birmingham employing 17 British people !
People like that deserve an MBE yet our wonderful supposedly Conservative government is unrelenting in it’s attempt to drive small businesses to the wall and disabuse anyone of the idea of becoming an entrepreneur .
The failure of govts to break up the banks , address capital adequacy ratio’s sufficiently , jail the biggest miscreants seems to have lead to the lefties targeting completely unrelated businesses at random .
The lefties have decided that “profit” is a dirty word and the Govt is going along with them which is why I am giving the UK a wide berth . One is left with Australia and the US and not a lot else .

Tom I urge you to please watch RT on sky 512 for 1 week,try and watch all their documentaries or record if you can,try also to watch as many of their other programmes as well,like sputnik,going underground etc,you will probably find yourself like me becoming an avid viewer.
Then I urge you to watch as much of Fox news on sky 509 as you can over the course of a week,especially watching out for the scum that is Hannity,please come back to me after doing this.
