   It will completely impossible to find a winner this week. It’s as if the asylum doors have been opened, the warders have done a runner and the keys have been lost.
   The choice is almost infinite.
   AST, LND,HER,VAST,SAR etc. etc. 5 minutes spent reading any of those boards is sufficient to make you wonder how capitalism survives.

   This is the first time I’ve attempted to enter this contest and I’m not sure if it’s restricted to the LSE asylum. If not, I nominate sobeit for the statement below – one of his many pseudo-authoritative gems – on the BLNX board of Interactive Investor. It was made today in response to the expectation described in a trading RNS released yesterday that significant financial rewards (the statement implying they will be tangible) will be reaped from operational changes being questioned, and, like many statements of genius, it IS subtle and its nonsensical absurdity is easy to overlook on a first reading.

   “Pro forma, in accounting terms means “anticipated but not delivered” whereas in yesterday’s statement it clearly states that $40m, based on the changes made to date, will be delivered because the changes have been made therefore it is not “pro forma”.”

   It seems to me that worthy contenders for this illustrious accolade must not only spout drivel (I’m sure many of us have been guilty of that from time to time), but to do so with overbearing self-belief and hubris. And it’s a bonus if they throw hissy fits in response to anyone expressing a view contrary to their own. He or she ticks both boxes.

   I nominate the entire RNS announcement from PRIMARYBID LIMITED about the £500 000 capital raise for ASCENT RESOURCES.

   The only ‘seeds’ relevant to this are conkers. As in the following quotation:

   ADVFN’s IOF board the day the co. “announces the resignation of Neil Hekking as Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) with immediate effect.”

   I think this idiot means ‘drawer’, where his other ‘long term investments’ QPP / WTG & SGH have gone.

   squire007 8 Apr’16 – 13:40 – 38340 of 38362 2 2

   Great buying time … more for the draw ..@-)

   Long missing from LSE, this moronic gas bag has returned spouting the same deluded horse shit as before, at the same time Rob Terry has started to fuck with IMTK again. Coincidence?

   With RT on the scene now and his ability to generate shareholder profit IMKT share price is likely to head much further north from here. Those having benefited from the RT roadshows and the detractors who have lost money will argue the toss while the newbie pounders whether to invest and ride the inevitable waves. I did my a few more today.

   Posted by Armitage Shanks on LSE (His pals call him Khazi coz he collects shit shares and flushes his cash down the bog)

   I’ve just got home from work and there was a letter waiting for me from First Direct with whom I bank and I use their share dealing service. The letter is headed “5,000 shares Worthington GR ORD GBP0.10”. Firstly, I’ve got 9,000 shares, not 5,000. The letter then goes on to say, “Further to our previous correspondence, I am pleased to confirm that the above stock has now been obtained”. There is then some other blurb about now being able to arrange transfer of the shares and the ability to now sell them. Anyone else had the same letter? What’s this all about? This post is not addressed to the trolls who inhabit this board so please do not be rude enough to reply. You know who you are. Genuine holders only please.

   This arsehole is so desperate for news that he just makes it up. The inbreds just lap it up though except Philobeddoe who has lapsed into talking sense for a change.

   Just donated another £30 to blue share, I hold shares in WTG, DAN, IMTK & SULA if I ever get my 1.6 average back from DAN I will be in profit, with a bit of luck all these shares could increase over the next 12 months and after being nearly 30k down lost most of my hair and 3 years worth of stress I may be heading for HAPPIER days, thanks to everyone involved in setting up blueshare and gla

   Not quite a bulletin board(*). Not quite a moron

   William Keegan – someone I often find deeply irritating and sometimes worng (sic), but on the stopped clock principle:

   (from the 03/04 article last para)
   … The paradox now is that, patently absurd though the whole idea of Brexit is, fears about it have been unsettling the pound. Now we have the balance of payments crisis. I did not get where I am today forecasting exchange rates, but it is not inconceivable that circumstances are combining to bring the pound down to a more competitive level, and that, as in 1975-76, things could get completely out of hand.

   (*) actually arguable

    Philobeddoe returns immediately to la-la land after his all too brief moment of sanity.

    Care in the community gone wrong, I fear.

    “I think the Worthington group conglomerate is most likely loaded up with deals and with many more in the pipeline. The fact we’re still pursuing the merger with Nuna suggests an RTO situation continues to exist, ie, the size and number of transactions remains on a scale that continues to trigger an RTO and therefore continues to necessitate the merger with Nuna. If WRN was suddenly an empty vehicle of little value, there is simply no way we’d be spending this much time, money and effort pursuing the merger with Nuna. If the deals had been lost, if an RTO situation no longer existed, we’d have presumably just resumed trading using our existing main market listing, which we still have, and which has not been cancelled by the FCA. Also, the FCA would never allow a company to remain suspended for 18+ months unless there was genuine reason and genuine substance to it all, coupled with strong evidence that progress was being made. It’s a bit like a butterfly developing inside a chrysalis. On the outside it looks like not much is going on, just the occasional sign of movement. But on the inside there’s a tremendous amount of activity and change going on, it’s just not visible yet to the outside world. I’ve no doubt once Nuna has been sorted, we’ll resume trading as a multi billion dollar global conglomerate with multiple listings. The value will surely be there, it’s just a question then of how many shares in issue we’ll have which will ultimately determine how that value translates into share price. Personally, I continue to believe we’ll resume with a tiny number of shares to start with, then add more as Mcap increases, at staged intervals and always at a premium to the current SP at the time of issue, as per Q&A. The simple maths is, if we resume trading as a multi billion dollar global conglomerate with a tiny free float and huge interest, then our SP is pretty much guaranteed to rocket to astronomical highs.”
