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.
It is almost time for the "placing song" but not quite. In this podcast I look at Fox Marble, Coms, Image Scan (in detail), Blur and Tethys. Warning strong language used in connection with the total POS that used to do PR for Image Scan, itself a total POS.

Given your comment about late results Tom how do you feel about PEL which was your Jan15 HSR tip? In each of the last 2 years results have come out c26th March, this year zilch so far… we know results for 2014 will disappoint but no news could mean 2015 forecast isn’t as good either?

Sorry for being off topic but these entertaining exposés have once again reminded me of POS, i.e., Plexus Holdings. I commented a few months ago that their shares seemed undervalued when they were sub-£2, and they’ve since risen by about 25% to about £2.40. On the day they rose most significantly Motley Fool advised selling, but I disagree. I don’t really know what I’m talking about, but they seemed to totally discount the effect of even a modest (but significant) increase in the price of oil on the fortunes of this service provider to the oil and gas sector (which I imagine can only be +ve), one that seems to have a strong management team in place. I accept that they could be viewed as something of a one-trick pony (by those more familiar with what they’re offering), but what a trick! Having said that they’ll probably now tank, though I’m not invested. Anyway – as I said – sorry for being off topic but I had some time to kill and I really think they could be one to watch.
