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.
On Friday I updated on short positions with a ‘position date’ in the current month which have been disclosed, as required, to the FCA. Today I highlight the top 19 disclosed ‘net short position %’ as of then, regardless of the 'position date'. Interestingly these are all in different companies (the first repeat 'share issuer' being WH Smith in 23rd, repeat 'position holder's in the table in bold). This is thus another table for which investors holding the shares featured may want to check the current fundamentals.

Just seen the excellent news from quindell. Can someone at share prophets finally have a word with tom. Winnifrith to stop insulting. He is giving share prophets a very bad name.

the RNS mentions the words “major insurer” 11 times. It references the P&L and cashflow impact zero times.
I am Touched that a QPP moron is so concerned regarding the standing of ShareProphets but if its editor (me) tells any writer what to writer they would be fired. So I will not be telling me to stop exposing the fraud that is Quenron
