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 brief bearcast from Athens Airport. First up Europcar are bastards. Do not use them ever. I shall explain why later. In this podcast I also discuss Coms, Filtronic, Webis (tough luck Jim Mellon), what an inventory build up means, talking to the FCA/UKLA about Worthington and by the way did I mention that Europcar are total bastards and you should never ever use them anywhere in the world?

Heard you mention snake repellent. Just wondered what you use.

Perhaps there is a conspiracy against financial journalists ;-)

I use sulphur ( 1 euro a bag) as an external defence in the summer – just spread it in a line. But I also have 2 canisters which emit a smell snakes can smell and hate but we cant smell 10 yards away from 2 corners of the house. Cost 20 euro each & last 3 months

Cripes the voice sounds rough ……….. lots of shouting at europcar I expect . What happened ?……….. did they do the usual “ charge for a full body respray” to repair a key scratch 2cm long next to the door key hole !
