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 is a turn up for the books! California Joe, CJ to my friends writing an article for shareProphets? Well, it’s the time for goodwill to all men and women, even Tom Winnifrith and I also hear there’s a new editor position on the horizon so before certain BB Trolls start trolling “He’s after the editor’s job” I’ll just scotch that rumour. I'm not interested. Besides I'm sure Tom would have a head fit before he gave me the keys to the ‘free-speech empire lol! TW note there's no vacancy and I'd rather employ my cat - whose semi-literate work requires less editing - but you want to bash Lenigas so in the interests of free speech here's a platform

I am afraid your deluded Mr Californication . The fragrant one is very capable and when backed into a very tight corner by the AIM Highwayman , Oily and “one in the” Chamber she simply turned them over real good and made them look like muppets . Solo was a piece of shite long before Ritson so I fear your aiming at the wrong target with your whining . As for Ritson , LGO etc your output is miss guided drivel . Oil price dear boy , Oil price . The decline in price of companies producing and prospecting for oil declined with the oil price fall from $110 to $40 dollars per barrel . Since they could not make a profit at that level the share prices of (all) oilies collapsed ….. even FTSE oil shares . Off you go upstairs now and crack on with your homework before your mum chases you .
Simple Moving Avarice
To an outsider looking in, Raylene Whitford appeared to be one of the few involved in the whole sordid SER affair who managed to avoid casting aspersions on anyone else and emerged with a small modicum of dignity at the end of it.
As for the repeated use of placings to fund a micro-cap oil exploration company it has to be said that this is a tried and tested technique, and much required, since none of them ever make any money in the long term.
The continued depressed oil price is crushing the life out of any small oilies that remain and I don’t think any of them are worth more than a bag of crisps at the moment. It’s practically impossible for an asset to be commercial in the present climate and private investor appetite has all but disappeared. You are still buying a lottery ticket but now there is no jackpot in the foreseeable future.
DUCK AND DIVE
I can’t see how Ms Whitford has the experience to be a consultant to anyone about anything. But attacking SOLO because NR may have engaged the woman who, at Sefton, saw off convicted armed robber, Desperate Dan (and his sycophantic acolyte who authored the above piece), is just unpleasant. Go peddle your trash somewhere else.

CJ,
Could we have some analysis rather than clichés and vitriol please.
We already have Tom’s analysis on SOLO and your piece adds nothing of any value to shareholder understanding. Tom’s cats could indeed have done a better job.
Try running your drivel through a spell checker at least before you publish
Mooboy
Waaaaaaaaaambulance for the cry baby?
Beahhhahahhhhahhah

this article is just one big whine and whinge. There’s no meat or analysis. CJ is just having a go at Raylene because he has this pathetic notion that she frittered the cash away at SER.. which was just b/s.
Tom should have another section on this website called “Dear Tom” where whinging articles can be published on there. It certainly doesn’t deserve to be put on the main links page…. it delivers nothing but wah wah wah wah.
