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.
I cannot resist making a joke I made earlier about getting past passport control. That and a favour asked of all Bearcast listeners starts today's podcast, delayed because the internet connection from Kalamata is painfully slow. When we get there I shall discuss Naibu, Camkids, China Chaintek, Northern Petroleum (a genuine request to its lamentable board made in the spirit of friendship becuase I am such a nice guy), Alecto, Afren, Frontier Mining, Motive TV and Nighthawk.

Love the passion, love the outspoken views, love the swearing, as does my wife. We sit in front of our miserable screens and watch all our apples rot, and the only time we chuckle is when Tom is raging against the dying of the light. Never mind the Albanians not turning up, our ‘apples’ aren’t worth a packet of crisps, or picking. You are a tonic, best of luck!

Recently signed up to this site and thought I would praise it as the idiots give you some stick.
Love the lets say irreverent style which adds a bit of entertainment and interest to a subject that can be a bit stuffy.
Carry on the good work which I find very informative and don’t let the bastards get you down

The thing is Tom …………. who is feeding the three legged sack of spuds called Oakley ? And of course what now of the newly uncovered creationist versus evolutionist dilemma ? As a creationist I have long been an adversary of Prof Richard Dorking and his misguided theory on evolution . Now however I am confronted by the uncomfortable truth that in one lifetime a cat has evolved into a sack of spuds ( with 3 legs ) . I shall need some time to adapt my thinking and develop a new hypothesis as to how this can sit comfortably with the creation model . Perhaps some advanced theory of lifetime adaptation will assist my resolving this matter . The thing is, has Oakley sired any small bags of spuds? ….. if yes , then I am truly in the mire as to explaining this matter .
Yours in turmoil .
