It is hard to believe but despite his threats of violence and the way he confuses flower arranging with boxing, criminal twerp Chris Oil was not last week's Bulletin Board or twitter moron of the week. A couple of his deluded rants were among the fine nominations for moron of the week - and you can see the full list of entries here - but the winner was spotted by Drunken Sailor on the ADVFN asylum. Can you do better this week?

You’re going to have to introduce an irony / piss taking detector TW, I have a feeling the morons are fighting back by posting outrageously stupid posts to mock your BBotW competition.
dogruner11 has posted that same post about 10 times on various shit shares. Is he taking the Michael out of Shareprophets or the mugs?

Interesting discovery, JD. I was mentioning last week to Drunken Sailor who won with that posting that it doesn’t look like the normal run-of-the-mill message on a bulletin board. Tt looks almost “mission-statement” as though it’s actually from some investors’ handout written by the Investor Relations department of a company.
Now that you’ve found a few more of his like that I reckon he’s doing some “work from home” ramping scam on behalf of some of these outfits.
Nearly all the BB posters are quick to accuse folks with a negative outlook of being paid de-rampers but, when you consider it, the opposite is likely to be a much more fruitful way of earning some extra pin-money.

Can I please nominate DrunkenSailor for being a bulletin board moron in the Andrew Monk quiz

Post 1. Andrew Monk is wrong. The probability of the next marble being white is 50%. …..

Is there a bigger fool on ADVFN than Nicky Name, aka Filthy Lucre? Surely he is the undisputed King of the QPP / WTF Morons. He posted this in response to news SGH has been suspended.

my second entry is by Jjjerseygirl ( Mrs Lithium incognito ? but she really has a thing for Len even after he stuffed her, love is blind in her search for a human with a big thing so maybe Len is the man, she is clearly insane, or maybe insatiable ?) on the MTV tits up channel today at 10.20am :

RE: Tablet tv steaming into 38th pl..Today 10:20100% I’m after big things for big reasons and have really been doing my best to get there. I’ve been involved with a ridiculous number of humans because of my life choices and cards dealt. My success so far in life has been because my best skill is working choosing whatever you want to call it really great people. Talent spotting I guess. I for this stage of life chose Len and Mtv. I will judge myself very harshly if I’ve missed something and of course lose a lot of money that was hard earned. I also never quit.

G’day Bruce, oh sorry mate, fair dinkum, no worries. G’day Tom. (That’s a weird name- sure you aren’t a Sheila?)
Anyway sorry about your cat. Thought this from the colonies might cheer. It’s from the SGH board on hot copper.
“SGH holders I take a different view. IMO there had been leaks that the financial statements would not be that bad hence why the stock has run over the past week. The directors have placed it in what is effectively a long trading halt for continuous disclosure purposes.
If the trading patterns are to be believed I suspect you will have a big jump up when the financial statements are released. Best of luck guys and I hope for the best.

I would be very careful otherwise the post you put here will be nominated.
Drunken is wrong but so are you, 2/3rd is most certainly not the right answer, I have known it all along.
The game has been cleverly designed, probably by one of those psychologists who knew perfectly well that the moment people either read or listened to the instructions, they would immediately start to calculate the answer
The game is not designed for mathematicians who, like me, would use probability fundamentals. The game has a twist and unless you discover it you can never reason this out, because you can never reason this out with a 3 bag permutation or combination, it will always take you to a 2/3rd solution, and it is not the correct answer.
Hint
If anyone wants to reason out the right answer, then they need to go back and listen again to Tom’s instructions, only listen more carefully. The game is as much about listening skills or reading skills as anything and it is game of strategy.
The answer really is 20%

Can I also nominate Phil for BBM. He is worse than DrunkenSailor.
Phil, Conditional probabilities have brought out the moron in you too. You clearly don’t understand what they are.
Don’t worry you are in good company. Look up the famous “The Monty Hall problem”, where morons like you insisted that Marilyn vos Savant was wrong on her probability answer. Some very intelligent people were made to eat their words, and admit that they were morons.
Phil, definitely for BBM

I told you the game has a trick, I also told you that to get the trick you have to listen carefully to the instructions or read them more carefully.
I said that because I have told you the trick in my post on this thread, if only you read it, that is why I put there, knowing you wouldn’t read it properly.
You didn’t listen to the instructions properly and you didn’t read my post properly which is why you have the wrong answer
Now I really am done with this, some people are not for the telling

This would have been mine, it’s from last Friday so I guess its too late but it’s still a cracker worth sharing anyhow.
Taken from LSE, Sefton Resources, yes.. It’s still up.

why bother if its dead and gone..

There is no trick, the answer is 2/3 and you are a moron. A Bulletin Board Moron

Tom, I think you’ve got it wrong. Dogrunner posts sarcasm and that message was on lots of BBs attacking or making feel stupid rampers of shit stocks.

This from this morning, 2hrs after Worldview’s 3p bid for PCI.

it shows pci is worth something and as a “whole” company is best for the buyer so we will see a lot better offer and even at 16p its a steal

Oh and I nominate all of PHILs posts on the marbles threads and on this thread.

Latest tweet from Chris Oil (Foghorn Leghorn) is that he’s just landed back in the UK. His earlier tweets a few hrs ago must have been from the flight home then, first class I would assume. Then again like count duckula, perhaps he travels by magic castle.
Anyway, I wonder if the boxing match is back on…

Since Quindell is history it appears the loonies have all moved to pastures new. Here is “PhiloBeddoe” from the Worthington LSE chat room. – here is a taste of this posts…..Number 1 is a joke I assume – sorry they’re ALL a joke. I guess he works in the same office as former QPP ramper Robbajob,
1 – Huge NAV (in our case potentially well in excess of £1.3 Billion)
2 – Tiny number of shares in issue
3 – Huge volumes, massive interest/sentiment (in our case likely to be off the scale)
4 – The end of a very long suspension – a lot of anticipation/excitement/coiled spring effect
5 – Massive newsflow – deals and updates/the flood gates finally open
6 – Multi listings – international investors high demand for shares/tiny free float/squeeze effect
7 – Huge expectation – the best is yet to come/historically the SP is associated with huge % increases
8 – Gigantic re-rate likely – from nano cap to “an altogether different scale”

Believe it or not Zeronegative, point 1 actually comes from one of the company’s RNSs :
“9 January 2015
Update
…Consolidated net assets of the group, following conversion of loan notes used to finance investments and before minority interests, are expected to exceed US $2 billion…”
To which the market replied “more shrooms anyone?”

Here’s a gem from one of the inbred arseholes on the WEN LSE board called ChrisD1975
Someone should remind this ridiculous arsewipe that he CANNOT sell because the lying ramping scum who conned cash out of the few dozen resident retards who post eveery day on this dogshit company have already sold at a profit.How fucking dimwitted is this inbred prick? If it was not for philobeddoe, he’d be the stupidest poster of all time.
Share bashers, if you think that posting crap on here is going to make me sell you are vastly mistaken. I will be buying more not selling. So if anyone believes these desperadoes, sell up when we relist, no doubt there will be a queue of people ready to buy them off you, probably the share bashers themselves.
A mention too for kenny100 who has racked up a gazillion irrelevant posts on Afriag. I wonder if he is paid in cash or if he’s just DL’s bumchum and takes payment in kind

I am not feart. Quite the opposite. A dollar of SGH profit is valued at one twenty secondth of a dollar profit in Rede Plc.
Soon the NIHL tale will be past and notions of overly high debt will be oh so passe. The $300m coming from NIHL is the cure.
Then there isnt a reason why SGH wouldnt be valued in the same way as Redde.
Bring on 15 X price rise.
