Your being too modest!
Just as an example……..two stocks that you have consistently called out and nailed well in front of your peers, have today fallen to new lows……..
Monitise (MONI) 9.79 …… -11.00%
Tungsten Corp (TUNG) 98.50 ……. -10.05%
Whilst every other commentator and tipster were lauding and hyping these two darlings of the market, you were alone in voicing your scepticism ( at the cost of vociferous abuse from the LSE BBM’s ) to the validity of their business models.
Not for the first time, any investor who heeded your forensic analysis and advise would have saved themselves a packet!
And folk wonder why ShareProphets readership numbers are soaring???????

Hi Tom,
With regard to PLUS, I agree totally that it’s not a sleep soundly stock. In fact my commentary on the company over on Stockopedia has been consistently sceptical for a couple of years now.
However, as a short term trade, I think there’s possibly money to be made. No sign of a bounce yet in PLUS. I think it’s their AGM next Weds, so I imagine there will be an update – probably saying that the larger accounts have now been verified – after all, it’s only a matter of people emailing in a scan of their passport & a utility bill – hardly onerous!
I can’t see any signs of anything more sinister, which bears have been hinting at. Although it’s not a company I like, and normally I don’t touch overseas companies listed on AIM, as so many of them turn out to be dodgy in some way or another.
Maybe I will regret this long trade, who knows?! All good fun though, and I’m happy to consider both bull & bear case.
Regards, Paul.
