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.
Yesterday I ran an email from PR Genius Reg Hoare who acts for Plus500 (PLUS) which tries to set the record straight after Lucian Miers' article the previous day. At the end of his email Mr Hoare states "I wouldn't for one moment presume to tell you how to run your Share Prophets web-site, but" he then tells me how to run my business. Ok Reg, I wouldnt presume to tell you how to run your fecking PR business but...

I hope Tom, and Lucian, that you will explain exactly where PLUS get the divi cash from that it pays out with great regularity, and on-time. Tom, you have got TrakM8 ( sell), Fox Marble ( buy) so wrong, and you are wrong with this one. Lucian must be down a bundle on his short, and presumably you are in the same boat.

You ignorant tosser. I get some tips right and some wrong. You neglected to mention say Opti on the long tack or Globo on the short tack. For what it is worth I am not short of plus or would have said so in my piece.
So you presume when in fact ignoring evidence to the contrary showing, all in all, that you are are an A1 arsehole. Feel free to refuse to visit this site again in protest at my language/me pointing out what cock you talk

PS Quindell paid divis, so did Naibu. It proves nothing.

Yeh Tom, Quindell paid 0.2p,ps, cost the co a few million quid, but gave its CEO some £600,000, and PLUS paid out $60M in 2014, $65M in 2015 and in Jan and March this year alone have paid $96M. That would be one hell of a boiler room operation. And you havn’t shorted – some ( no, the majority of people) would say put your money where your mouth is, Unfortunately, no currency could ever get so de-valued. And, I’ve been called worse things by better people than you, and the next time you walk by a mirror, have a look at yourself. Yes, you have called a few right, but mainly off the back of other peoples research, and in any case, a broken clock is right twice a day. Vc poha amigo.
TW Note I have the balls to absue folks in my own name. You have no balls and so post abuse anonymously. Is that not a tad cowardly? What are you hiding? Globo, Monitise blinks, XEL, GKP, IGAS, SER, VIY, OUT, CUP, all the BB darlings of the past 3 years - look at my death list bearcasts etc. the record is fucking awesome and folks like the FRC - rather more credible than you - thank me for MY research so why not just go fuck yourself and abandon this website you anonymous, cowardly A1 a'hole.
