Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: a failed and humble fund manager offers advice to a conceited successful one, Crispin Odey, over Advanced Oncotherapy

By Tom Winnifrith | Saturday 11 February 2023

Disclosure: I own shares in one or more of the stocks mentioned. 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.

I discuss both Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO) where my target remains 0p. And I say that as the loyal owner of one share. Then also the green idiots suing Shell (SHEL) for not being green enough. Words almost fail me but, as usual, in the end they do not. I forgot to mention it but I commend to you my article on the utter bastardisation of democracy and Orwellian use of language by the Committee of the MCC, HERE
