Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
It is not only the petty criminal and liar Chris Oil who urges folks to boycott products associated with me. You may remember that his bestest friend Daniel urged his legions of followers to boycott this website. In that vein...

Keep up the good work Tom. We need people like you and the staff at Shareprophets to expose the fraudsters and corrupt. It is quite amusing how those you are exposing always tell people to boycott shareprophets and events that you organise. These individuals do not want people to know the truth about them.
Wishing you and all the staff at Shareprophets a great 2016.

Yeah sounds good. I don’t come here for Tips. I picked up the Opti one but other than that, its not important to me.
I come here to check you haven’t got dirt on anything I am about to invest in and to have a laugh at Jabba’s expense. keep it up in that vein.

A great mission statement for the New Year!
As the authorities seem incapable of enforcing the rules and bringing the bad guys to book, the emphasis is clearly on the brave journalists of ShareProphets to continue the fight in protecting the private investor.
This year has been stunning for ShareProphets …….. seems likely that 2016 will prove even better!

Congrats on the upcoming milestone (sorry, “landmarket”). And for the ShareProphets warning.
Share tips, especially AIM share tips, are becoming very difficult to get right – even when the FTSE is doing OK – so the decision to cut down on them will boost your averages. Also, the likes of Amanda Van Dyke and Robert Tyerman with their rinse-and-repeat gold/commodity ramps have sadly become rather tedious. Steve Brown also bangs his own drum but at least his stuff is well researched and a pleasure to read. Poor Malcolm is seemingly finding it increasingly difficult to whip up enthusiasm while Zak’s chart predictions don’t seem to work out well in the current low-volume AIM sector.
But it will be a bonus to see more of Nigel who is not only a great sleuth but also a fine writer – in fact, ShareProphets’ finest.
I hope there will also be room to keep tabs on AIM outcasts – maybe via a regular “Dodgy Dave’s Diary” column.
Notwithstanding our frequent disagreements and your regular rudeness, I’m delighted by your success. ShareProphets is the only essential read for private investors, imho. And, who knows, it might even be having some effect on the regulators…

Congratulations Tom and keep up the good work!

Good work Tom, looking forward to the new and improved Shareprophets in 2016.

I agree with Duck & Dive.The real strength of the site is on the short side although the record of the Nifty Fifty is pretty impressive. (HSR less so…how about a short portfolio to replaced this?) Overall, a great achievement Tom and team, I’ve been educated and entertained since inception, very well done.

Congrats. all round! As others, I come here FOR the warnings, and I take heed—GBO, TUNG, Etc.- so keep up the pressure on the sewer rats, I for one, am right behind you (probably quite along way behind…)
