Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares

Over the weekend Big Dave Lenigas of UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) and numerous other companies took to twitter with a series of evening tweets threatening to sue some Bulletin Board Moron from the Grim Northern welfare safaris who had questioned Horse Hill. Has Big Dave actually launched proceedings? We know not. But next up is Andrew Bell of Red Rock Resources (RRR) who Lenigas accuses of “being a liar”

Del Boy Lemongas gets more like JR from Dallas every day . Wait till he gets smoking some big fat ones …….. Cuban cigars …………. he could then play a Mafia Don in the next big gangsta movie ………. looks the part . Mines a Deer please Dave ………. dont like the taste of horse meat .
I dont do twatter so anyone who can translate this little spat into English please oblige below.

Best thing shareholders can do with Lenigas is to ban him from twitter or ban him from the boardroom. He is a combination of a bully, a loose cannon, a complete idiot, a genius, a great chap to share a bevvie or an attention junky, and there is the problem. Which one are you goin to get.
For me until he grows up a little and settles/calms down, stops the tartrazine, he is uninvestable, which is a shame because I genuinely think he has enormous talent

Whatever the rights and wrongs between the present protagonists, the present fall out has only further demonstrated what an outstanding success the 2015 Investors Show has been!
The presentations of all the contributors to this years event has greatly enhanced, further, their standing within the investing community – as example….. the outstanding and excellent Malcolm Stacey, take his tip regarding, Feedback…..result, as I for one piled in……….. a 30%+ rise! This only demonstrates further the esteem and regard us,the investing folk hold to the integrity, expertise and opinion of the aforesaid and their allies!
Its an unarguable FACT that Investors 2015 Show has been a huge success!
To-morrow night, our investors group (23 members) will be concentrating on the excellent presentation of Mark Slater’s at this years show and his recommendations and investing philosophy .
A big thank you, to You and your team, Tom. First rate job…done!

Tom- whilst AB’s opinion/motives on the horse hill situation provides much needed balance and perspective I think many on here would question why AB’s two utter disasters of companies (RRR and RGM) have not attracted (from you) some serious criticism. Shareholders have seen near 99.9% wipe out from the ATH share prices and have had to endure an endless cycle of promise, failure and dilution for years now.
A cynic might say you are happy to focus on HHill as it is currently a hot share and no doubt drives good traffic to the SP website but I think you should hold all the AIM casino companies up to the same (generally excellent) SP scrutiny -especially the ones which have performed so poorly.

I fully agree with Antondec. Many others and I have lost large amounts of money with RRR and RGM. Had the money been spread between various Lenigas ventures from the beginning, I would now be far better off. I belatedly made this move about 2 years ago, and I am far better off now as a result. Bell is a blustering, pompous windbag who is very economical with the truth, and that’s being generous.
So how come the Sheriff never goes after him??????

That presentation about Horse Hill was awesome.

Andrew Bell is an incompetent charlatan, who over pays himself and significantly under-performs. Yet, like his class, he thinks he has a divine right to rule (despite empirical evidence to the contrary)

This sh*ts better then is Eastenders. Educated Bullshit, surely no one speaks that much crap…?
Tom I know it doesn’t mean much but im sure people have so much more respect for you not picking and choosing who you expose.. you could have a field day on Lenikova if you wanted………….

One things for sure….with Mr Lenigas…….he may be all of these things…….but ‘Diluting Dave’ is the undisputed King…..of Dilution….imagine he owned a bar…..‘would you like water with that?’…..needless to say your answer would be “do I have any other choice?”
