Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
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.
There were some share promoters who pushed Dev Clever (DEV), which IPO'd at 1p, as being worth 50p per share and indeed the shares reached the 40s and were suspended at just over 30p making this a £250 million disaster waiting to happen. I pointed out that it was run from a lock up in Stafford, that it was a cash guzzling POS, the stinky share sales by the CEO ahead of a lack of profits warnings, spoof investments at a premium to the share price made by companies with no cash. My list of exposes was a long one as you can see HERE. This was always going to be a disaster but natch, mug punters knew otherwise.
