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.

This week AIM celebrated its 20th birthday and its allies in the crony capitalist cabal on Fleet Street lapped it up. I am sorry to say that my old pal Geoff Foster of the Daily Mail penned a vomit inducing piece HERE which needs "fisking"

DUCK AND DIVE
I would contribute £1000* to a (small) display advertisement in the FT signed by disaffected AIM investors and listing its recent failings.
*Subject to at least 9 others doing the same.

Duck – ile chip in a K if we can put Mr (Chris) bean and mr Levi’s photos in the advert!
I still think all this needs to be made into a ‘carry on investing’ documentary!

Tom – The system was designed to 1. Fail and 2. Screw the common man … The stock market is just a more obvious approach!.. Provided it stays like this for long enough I can still buy my farm next to the surf in NZ before shit gets proper ugly here in blighty, for that – 2020’s my guess!
