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.
A final parting shot sees this podcast cover Savannah Resources and mining juniors generally with a shot at those in Mozambique, Quindell, whistleblowers and I wish you all a happy New Year. Don't drink too much. I certainly will not.

Happy New Year Tom!
You’ve reinvented yourself this year, and whether people like or loathe you, I think it’s very brave to expose wrongdoing wherever you find it, ask the awkward questions, and generally try to improve corporate governance, as you have been doing in 2014, in your unique style!
As I’ve said before, personally I think your articles would carry so much more weight if you moderated your aggressive writing style somewhat. It’s too easy for people to dismiss you as a loon, if you speak like a loon! (yes yes, pot & kettle, point taken!!!)
Also, it would be great to run a spellchecker before publishing maybe?
Other than that, it’s all great, unique, and keep it coming!!
Kind Regards, Paul.

Happy new year from me too. I echo Paul.

I agree with Paul Scott – you’re doing a great job exposing the ne’er-do-wells that inhabit AIM.
I also agree that a spelling/grammar checker could be usefully applied – one that would pick up on such howlers as misapplication of moot/mute and militate/mitigate and others of a similar variety that I cannot instantly recall but which hit me between the eyes on reading and which have the effect of undermining serious intent. If a writer appears incapable of differentiating between near homonyms, it devalues the content of his effort.

Happy New year everyone.:)
