Notes from Underground - Top 20: It's Woodford all the way down

By Darren Atwater | Sunday 9 June 2019


Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. 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.


So, did my plan last week to zoom this column to the Top of the Pops by putting in a pandering Bitcoin infographic work? No, it did not.

It actually dropped six places, to #47. I could accept that the readers of ShareProphets are not susceptiible to such obvious click bait. But I could also accept that this shows that interest in Bitcoin has truly plummeted and a bad risk is even riskier now.

The most-read non-Tom story, excluding Bearcasts, is What now as Woodford Equity Income Fund suspends trading? Shimples: carnage - China Syndrome time by Nigel Somerville at a terrific #3 or, if you include Bearcasts, also #3. We can only assume this may be a perma spot for Nigel as long as Woodford fever continues.
