The market is bent and no-one cares. Well I do and will be raising a number of issues at the AGM of the London Stock Exchange next week and hope you will join myself and Lucian there. In this podcast I cover moral choices about who you do business with and some nasty shocks in store for certain folks at www.UKInvestorshow.com then look at how markets are rigged and bent, leaving all involved just fealing sordid. I look at both Greka Drilling (GDL) and Falcon Acquisitions (FAL) as case studies.

Are you fealing suitably sordid Tom?

Tom, listening to your virtuous crusade against crooks on Aim, it seems incongruous that you espouse such free market beliefs. Surely the Aim wrongs are simply the market failing and require intervention in the same way that other markets fail and need the state to get involved. It seems to me that it’s a matter of opinion as to what the state should regulate and what it should leave alone. Someone of a different view to you might say let Aim investors look out for themselves, but let’s tax polluting mineral extractors at a ridiculously high rate. Who’s right?
