Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
I have noted before how for daring to dissent from a cosy consensus that shares in certain stocks but notably Quindell, Globo and blinkx, are screaming buys I have received death threats, stalking and shit in the post and on the internet. But now those who seek to deny free speech have started an economic war and are actively seeking to ensure that I face economic ruin. Such folks will fail because most people believe in free speech but to see what they are up to read on.

Many folk when their shareholdings get the thumbs down take it as a personal attack. They automatically retaliate rather than consider objectively. Tom is entitled to speak the truth as he sees it. Pity more in politics don’t do the same. Facing up to the herd is called having ‘moral courage’ and is never easy. It’s the same with whistle blowing it takes someone with an inner code of respect for the truth no matter what. Much easier to be a sheep and follow the majority than stand out and say what you really think. Tom is to be admired in my opinion

Well as far as I am concerned you can swear as much as you like Tom . I find your style a breath of fresh air amid all the corruption and vested interest in the media and financial sector . In fact its highly entertaining .
I have been a member of a BB in the past and yes at least 50% of people on them are morons . The biggest one I came across put his wife and his owns life savings of £50,000 on one share for a period of time ………. an aim penny share called Evocutis . I rest my case my lord .
Its not as if your a dislexic trying to spell Nigeria or antique shop selling gollywog memorabilia after all . Its just the odd F word and mention of sheep and Welsh in the same sentance ,which of course can be argued as being accurate journalism . You can send my “letter” to Mr chambers to negate the other letter and we are all square and level again .

Retail investors need all the people fighting for their interests they can lay their hands on. The articles on here leave no doubt as to what the authors think. Like everything else in life, one can take it or leave it. Please keep the team at Share Prophets writing away; and I’ll use my brain to work out whether I agree or disagree. Cash and dividends are the only absolute proof of any investment. Not much sign of those at Quindell or Globo….

Sack Tom ! How Very Dare You.
However, Tom’s pals at Shareprophets been busy over the years, especially when you check their companies like the
101 companies of Luke Oliver Johnson or Darren Atwater’s company EVERYWHEN LIMITED
06760792
that if you check Address it’s history ran out of the massive Jewish Boiler Rooms at Winnington House, 2 Woodberry Grove North Finchley and before that, 788-790 Finchley Rd London NW11 the Boiler Rooms where over 500,000 money laundering shell companies run and dissolve linked to MOHAMMED ADNAN KHASHOGGI and the LONRHO Cabal

First the Bulletin Board Morons came for Tom Winnifrith, but I did not speak out because I think that Tom loves kicking the hornets nest, and he just really asks for it sometimes.
Then the Bulletin Board Morons came for Ben Turney, editor of ShareProphets, but I did not speak out because Ben lives way, way, way away from me and when we do speak he always wants me to do something complicated and that will take all day, usually when I was planning to slip out to the pictures or something.
Then the Bulletin Board Morons came for me. And there was nobody to speak out because these people are just so thick, nobody can believe the Morons had money to invest in the first place before they decided to take advice from themselves, then blame everyone around them.
But then there is Shefers Shadow, who must be the dumbest Bulletin Board moron of them all.
Because, wow, Shefers found out that my tiny web company, which has no actual workplace, uses a registered office service. He should know, as a world-class investor, that it’s a legal requirement to have have a registered office.
I know Shefers thinks that Luke Johnson and Adnan Khashoggi and I spend every Friday in the maple-lined board room of 2 Woodberry Grove North Finchley plotting with Tom to screw him over.
But the truth is much different.
The board room is actually lined with Danish Pine.

What an absolutely ridiculous and vile letter.
Keep up the good work, shareprophets. You have a lot of people who love what you do and ironically these haters are only strengthening my belief that this website & yourself really do provide a valuable service.
It’s also worth noting that, had QPP’s share price not fallen 50% recently, these people wouldn’t be talking as if you’re worse than the devil himself. In other words, they’re only angry because they’ve made a huge mistake investing in QPP and now they’re using you as a scapegoat because it’s easier to do that then accept that: 1) it’s QPP’s doing that the share price is whee it is today, and 2) they can only blame themselves if they’ve lost money on QPP.
Their arguments and supposedly moral high ground all stems from either deliberately or mistakenly coming to the wrong conclusions for loses. For that reason their arguments will never stand up to scrutiny and should be ignored.
Tom, in time, all of this will blow over and – regardless – you should hold your head high for your work & your superb track record.
Kind regards,
Libero

Keep it up Tom. Society needs people to fight their cause. Well done.

Wow, you are upping the ante now tw quoting Voltaire, the last time I heard someone quote Voltaire was an equally high brow, entertaining character- Finch in American Pie, I believe.
Also, with regards to free speech, the principle you and clem hold so high, Is it the same clem that doesnt allow an ADVFN thread??
Good day to you sir.
wildrides
Clem does not allow an ADVFN thread ? ………….surely not ?
I cant believe such an upstanding gentleman could do such a thing ?
Over to you Clem Chambers.

I feel that Tom has a right to his opinion. i just don’t want to open a newsletter expecting to read a constructive piece of journalism and find it full of expletives. It’s just not professional.

Pretend its a TV and use the off button.
Or get out more .
Or cultivate a sense of humour alien to your own .
next you will be telling us that TV after the water shed is not professionally made !

Completely agree with the writer. TW is a disgrace. I am all in favour of free speech, but to hide behind it is a joke. TW is completely biased against QPP, deliberately trying to destroy the company, with his negative comments. What sort of journalism is that! I thought journalists were supposed to be objective, or is he simply trying to help his shorting buddies? Never any mention about the huge contracts wins with quality companies who would have done their own research and due diligence before signing the contracts.
TW- you should be ashamed of yourself!

Odine: “TW is completely biased against QPP, deliberately trying to destroy the company, with his negative comments. “ I think you give TW too much credit – but maybe you are right. Let’s hope he turns his attention to Apple or Microsoft next.

I think your missing the point Tom and other sceptics make regarding QPP ie Where is the Cash?
The business was overvalued , which Tom and others pointed out . Having fallen in price now it is not . When it starts to generate substantial audited free cash flow then the share price will no doubt recover more ground . The market wants proof because the CEO has back history of the sort he would probably like google to erase for good . Share holders suffered once before under his leadership . Therefore the older investors around are going to be clutching their red flags ready just incase . Some like Tom have already waved it .

Shame that Clem Chambers passionate belief in and defence of free speech does not extend to allowing one to post URLs from say Stockopedia!
Hypocritical or what?
And as for you Tom I am sorry but a lot of your tips are very poor. Dare I say Norseman Gold?
Tom Winnifrith

a) Clem does not own this site or have editorial control. I do.
B) we have posted links to stockopedia articles in the past. But those who criticise me anonymously ( and cannot spell shareprophets!) do not get a link.
c) Yes I have served up some crap tips. Norseman was one. Wiggins another. I have served up some stormers. Centamin + 1500% was one, Dominos + 1300% another.
Anyone who has been tipping small cap shares for 19 years will have had some howlers. Generally you judge tipsters by their average ( like batsman, would you judge Bradman by his last test score – 0 – or his average?) and on that basis my record is market beating and always has been.
Best wishes
Tom

The writer of the letter makes numerous points, but sadly I failed to take many of them in as I was too upset with the weird capitalisation. What I did read was poorly expressed, and clearly written in a bullying manner that many bbs writers seem to think is acceptable. Tom may be an asshole at times, but he is not a bully. It is everyone’s right to be an asshole, bullying needs to be stamped out.
