Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
"Mine's almost 100 foot long" Said criminal Chris Oil to PR Genius Steffi, the TR1 Queen. She looked at him doubtfully. No mine is bigger than that of David Lenigas. Steffi laughed. Chris smiled broadly: "No..., don't be silly I don't need to exaggerate about that...I am talking about my super yacht in the background." The little twerp held his fingers crossed tightly behind his back. Mummy had told him before that he must not tell porkies and that Santa would not be calling at Christmas if he did. Yes the serial market abuser has sent in his first photo from the Indaba mining conference, see below. Post your entries for this latest caption contest in the comments section below. Deadline midnight 14 February (Sunday).

The Oil Master is photographed against the backdrop of Mr David Lenigas’s luxury ocean going yacht ‘The Cuban Queen’.

Fully paid for by Mr “I’ll see you in Court” Williams and his fellow mug punters!

Wow I look sharp today! The purple vertical striped shirt with plain white collar and blue vertical striped jacket with shades and a panama hat with black band is a real winner. Must find a super yacht as a background or I will look out of place.
Great now I can take the outfit back for a refund as those losses on MXO and CUBA have really put a dent in mummy’s money and she has not managed to re mortgage the B&B, I mean castle yet.

My ship will be called either called either Oily Bastard or the Market Abuser and its two tenders will be called Pump and Dump

Hi Mammy its Chrissybobbles here in Indaba haveing a great time, of course as soon as they realised we single handedly developed North Sea oil they asked me would I mind leading the conference so I am quite busy but found time to do a deal, you know me I cant resist. I met a nice man called David, he was selling snake oil so I asked for his best deal. I agreed to sign over the bed and breakfast ( oops sorry I mean The Castle) in return for a time share on this absolutely spiffing lovely yacht, David told me its 12000 feet long so I checked on Parkers guide and its worth a million pounds a foot, you wont believe the deal I got, one week a year in November every time he decides to berth at Newport, I know moneys tight at the moment but we will never get a deal like this again, the shares are selling like hot cakes so pwease pwease pwease mammy send the title deeds soonest by DHL.

Where are all the mug punter’s…….
P.s. You’ll never know if i was going to add another word to the end.

(Not an entry) Giving credit where it’s due, though, Oily’s two recommended buys at the beginning of and for 2015 – RKH and FGO – did rise significantly within several months. Just saying.
NEMESIS
or……..
If i do a placing at 0.01p and tell nobody, can I get one of these too?

At risk of yet more annoying and unjustified stereotyping, Chris (“B&B owners son”) and I (“Italian bimbo goldigger”) wait for the call to serve breakfast to the crew of Dave’s yacht. Meanwhile, further along the dockside, Dan is disappointed to discover that the Manchester Evening News won’t be publishing his long awaited “forensic” expose of Sefton’s 2015 internal consultancy arrangements after all.

Mummy lent me her credit card again so I could get myself a little treat during my “business trip”… big mistake.

Chris and I keep watch as one of the Mitchell brothers arranges to have Cyril’s collection of classic cars stowed on board a fast boat out of Freetown before the administrators of GSR have a chance to seize them.

Our renowned City Investor and well known financial writer, Chris Oil, is here photgraphed in a state of high excitement as he discovers how Optiva Securities has spent his money.
Having been duped, by them into investing his inheritance buying worthless Leni Gas Cuba confetti, Chris howls…..
“Gimme back my money, else I’m telling Mummy!”
NEMESIS
Finally, a yacht about 100 foot long, the b*stard must be here!
I’ll just put Iggle Piggle down somewhere then go and confront him.

At least this one floated.

The homunculus who sits on Chris Oil’s shoulder and whispers crazy investment ideas into his ear is finally captured on film.

Christopher in Love
Steffi my love how much more money do I need to spend on you before you will be mine? I’ll buy you this yacht. Honest. In fact I already own this yacht. And all the other yachts. And the harbour. My father is Neptune King of the Sea, don’t you know. Now my love let us away from this drab colonial outpost and retreat to my country palace. It is known as the Versailles of the Malvern Hills. There my deal old mother shall cook for you every morning the finest fried breakfast you could ever imagine (but just ignore all the other peasant guests). After I shall whisk you off your feet on mother’s Stannah Stairlift and we shall while away our days in excruciating, chafing passion, living happily as man and wife. (At least until my money runs out).

Hey Steffi, given the state of the mining sector, it is not surprising that you are the only gold digger still in business that I have actually met here at Indaba
