Nigel Somerville's Greatest Hits, his 20most read articles on Shareprophets

By Darren Atwater | Friday 20 September 2024

 

The 20 most-read ShareProphets articles ever by Nigel Somerville are:

  1. Hey! Microsoft! Fuck you and fuck you some more - re Windows 10. (12 March 2016)
    I am normally not so intemperate but Microsoft has really got this coming to it. Be warned: bad language ahead…

  2. The Equities First Holdings LLC Scandal – an open letter to the FCA and AIM Regulation (29 March 2015)
    Enough is enough. Tom Winnifrith’s revelation that EFH has dumped the entire holding of 2.25 million shares transferred to it by Cloudbuy (CBUY) Chairman Ronald Duncan is shocking. It makes a total mockery of the disclosure requirements demanded by the FCA and AIM Regulation and as such I have today written an open letter to the heads of those two bodies, Mr Marcus Stuttard and Mr Martin Wheatley.

  3. Why Beaumont Cornish MUST be stripped of its NOMAD license and fined into oblivion immediately (4 May 2015)
    Quite simply, the firm of Beaumont Cornish is not fit for purpose as a Nomad. It epitomises all that is wrong with the AIM market. The epic fiasco surrounding the New World Oil and Gas Placing may be the last straw but Beaumont Cornish has form going back years. Even with regard to just this one company there have been serial disasters, but there are more cases where Beaumont Cornish has failed in its duties as Nomad.

  4. DQ Entertainment – subsidiary update sees shares gain 45%: Bonus crisps on offer for shareholders. (13 February 2016)
    Yesterday saw AIM-listed DQ Entertainment (DQE) release a trading update on its 75%-owned and Bombay listed Indian subsidiary, DQE Entertainment (International) Limited. It was well received by the market and DQE saw its shares advance by some 45.5%. That’s handy for anyone looking to get out, such as anyone with a loan in default being forced to sell their shares (before the Nomad, Allenby, quits in just over a week).

  5. Slater & Gordon Solutions – a lesson learned (28 February 2016)
    I mentioned last week that Deputy Sheriff Towers had a small matter which needed to be resolved with Slater & Gordon Solutions (SGH). As Tom Winnifrith readies his Castlemaine XXXX and popcorn for tonight’s excitement down under as Slater and Gordon publishes its results, I thought I’d pass on my experience of dealing with the UK outfit.

  6. EXCLUSIVE: Tern – A $75 million Valuation of Cryptosoft? NOOOOOOO! It is $75,000! (5 January 2015)
    I am horrified! Take careful note, anyone invested in Angus Forrest’s Tern plc (TERN) You see, reading through the bulletin boards for Tern on ADVFN and elsewhere, much ado has been made of an apparent valuation by an American outfit called Signal Hill, which published its “Q3 2014 Security & Risk Market Snapshot” pre Christmas. In that document, Cryptosoft was described as having an Enterprise Value of $75 million. Did that make Tern the most massively undervalued stock in history? No!!

  7. Max Petroleum – a crony capitalist POS AIM listing bites the dust. You were warned! (5 October 2015)
    This morning the piss-take that was AIM listed Max Petroleum (MXP) announced the last rites had been conducted on its listing as the company slunk off into oblivion as of 7am this morning. Quite why the company decided it would be a good idea to try to spin the fact that it is insolvent is beyond me. Just say it fellas: All the money’s gone.

  8. IGAS, Jefferies (Nomad), Andrew Austin (CEO), Board of Directors: SHAME ON YOU! You should all go now. (27 November 2014)
    I read with utter horror Wednesday’s RNS regarding Mr Austin’s Equities First Holdings LLC (EFH) ‘loan’ deal which, ahem, clarified that the previous clarification that the original RNS was all correct was in fact (cough, splutter) unclear. It was wrong. It was misleading. What a total shambles! How any CEO could survive this - and what follows - is beyond me. Gallows at the ready, then.

  9. Got a replacement car via Slater Gordon Solutions? Share your experiences! (20 February 2016)
    How does Slater Gordon Solutions rate when it comes to taking a replacement hire car to cover the period of having repairs made following a car crash? Did all go smoothly, or were there any nasty surprises? 

  10. ShareProphets Filthy Forty – Dr Johnny Hon comes out of the shadows as Executive Chairman of Gate Ventures (19 August 2015)
    Lucian Miers did a superb piece HERE which looked at some of the people involved in the ShareProphets AIM-China Filthy Forty poster boy, Gate Ventures (GATE). Gate, you may remember, had an extraordinarily short-lived existence on AIM in that it was given the order of the boot after even Beaumont Cornish found it all too much to represent this outfit as Nomad, and no-one else would either.

  11. Breaking: Rob Terry’s Quob Park Estate Ltd: a confetti-fest on Companies House (7 July 2015)
    I’ve been taking a look through a litany of share allotments by Quob Park Estates (QPE) recently filed at Companies House. Happily, we can now do these things for free (see HERE). I wonder who has been buying QPE shares, and why the variation in prices paid for the same stock on the same day? It also happens to involve listed stock in Quindell plc (QPP) and Daniel Stewart (DAN) and a mystery listed company (although I can’t help thinking that it is probably Quindell). And there is some, ahem, ‘interesting’ timing. 

  12. RockRose Energy – new issue is no silk purse, it’s a pig’s ear from Piggy Austin of IGAS shame (13 January 2016)
    This morning saw the return of Andrew “piggy” Austin of IGAS infamy to the London Stock Exchange with the Standard Listing of his new vehicle, Rockrose Energy (RRE). Incoming punters paid 50p a share for (at best) about 41p of assets – nice work for the Broker, Macquarie Capital. But there are a few problems which arise when comparing the Admission Document (HERE) with the company’s Companies House filings. For starters, what is the nominal value of the shares? Is it 2p or 20p? And just how many shares have been issued? This looks to be a pig in a poke.

  13. When scammers phone, it is not good to Talk Talk (8 December 2015)
    Here is a telephone number to be very concerned about: 0203 290 3834. If you get a call from this number, just tell them to Foxtrot Oscar - and report it. But who to? Here is what happened with a customer of Talk Talk yesterday. We will call her Jane Doe.

  14. IGas – What now of former CEO Andrew ‘Piggy’ Austin’s EFH Deal? Will the Company finally come clean? (9 May 2015)
    I covered a few cursory matters yesterday (HERE) regarding the stepping down of Andrew Austin as CEO of IGas Energy plc (IGAS) and the diabolical trading statement issued yesterday. We are told that Mr Austin will hang around to ensure a smooth transition – rather reminiscent of the situation at Coms when Dave Brieth stepped down but would hang around for the same reason. Except that in Mr Brieth’s case he was then selling shares in what appeared to be a close period, a bit of a problem but for the fact that he was no longer running the show and, indeed, we gather that he has not been on site since walking the plank. So what of Mr Austin’s holding in IGas – and his disgraceful EFH deal?

  15. The Camkids FRAUD – An Open Letter to Allenby Capital and AIM Regulation – suspend the shares NOW! (11 August 2015)
    Earlier today Nigel Somerville and Tom Winnifrith demonstrated quite clearly (HERE) why Camkids (CAMK) has committed accounting fraud and why the statement of yesterday just does not add up. We have been saying that this company is a fraud for months and months and that is now clear to all. Now it is time for Nomad Allenby to show principle and quit on the spot and if it is so desperate for fees that it will not for AIM Regulation to force a suspension. We explain why in this open letter: 

  16. Optimal payments- is this the sixth company in the Equities First Scandal? (14 November 2014)
    With a very big hat tip to ‘ROB’ who posted a comment on my article “Equities First and a cancer at the heart of the AIM Cesspit” I bring you Optimal Payments (OPAY) which is, according to ADVFN, a £668 million enterprise trading on the AIM Cesspit. I have to say that I have not the slightest clue what this company does, but that is not the point.

  17. Core VCT – Tips for 2015 Update (22 January 2015)
    Having originally suggested that Core VCT 3 CR3 was an arbitrage buy with a decent margin of safety over the Christmas break as my second tip of the year, at  51p offer – where they now trade once again – the article drew some comment at the time that all was not quite as it had seemed. I am particularly grateful to Tim Grattan for raising concerns about the mechanism of how value in the VCT fund is attributed to B-shares.

  18. The Globo Scandal – who is behind Lantau Holdings Ltd, and was the RNS of 14 Sept Market Abuse? (26 October 2015)
    What a staggering set of RNS releases this morning from AIM fraud Globo (GBO). First we have the near admission that the fraud allegations are substantially true. Then we have the resignation with immediate effect of joint Broker to Globo, Cannacord – just as Cannacord resigned the Quindell (QPP) account when the heat was really on. And to cap it all -  the cherry on the icing on the cake - news that Globo’s erstwhile CEO, Mr Konstantinos Papadimitrakopoulos, had been covertly selling down his holding of shares before the arrival of the bear report from Quintessential Capital Management. But when was he selling?

  19. Optimal payments – is this the big fat Mama Sow? ( and another RNS lie) (8 December 2014)
    Taking a look at Optimal Payments (OPAY) 2013 Annual Report has been an interesting experience. Having looked at the remuneration of Andrew Austin at IGas (IGAS) – which looked generous to a fault – I wondered what sort of package Mr Joel Leonoff might be on. I have thus far clocked up no less than seven different routes by which Optimal has been rewarding Mr Leonoff. Now I have no quibble with top-notch work getting suitably rewarded - don’t get me wrong. But the value of his packages does seem to me to be right up there with the best of the snouts-in-the-trough merchants. But first, a big fat porkie pie Gotcha!

  20. EXCLUSIVE - KERBOOM and DOUBLE KERBOOM!! AIQ, Mama Captain, Barrel2U, alleged Ponzis and other matters: Part 2 (16 January 2018)
    Having taken a look at the prospectus for the flotation of AIQ (AIQ) on the Standard list in part 1 we now move on to Mama Captain, Barrel2U, Mama Harbour and iBuddee. These outfits have faced allegations of being ponzi/MLM (multi-level marketing)/pyramid/money game schemes.
