Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: AIM can be rescued and here is how

By Tom Winnifrith | Saturday 10 February 2024

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.

With fewer companies than at any point since November 2003 some think AIM is doomed. It is not. Here is how to rescue it. There is also an update on the most famous underpants of WW2.
