Sunday Long Reads: Jim Cramer Wrong, Mountain for God, British Tech Charm Offensive, Titan’s First Voyage, Monkey Torture

Ocado takeover chat: could anyone really love a distribution robot that much?

Just under a week ago, I concluded that “Ocado (OCDO) is not going to keep being a FTSE 100 company for much longer”. Given that the company’s shares - despite some general market volatility over recent days - rose 18% during the last week, what is going on? After all, I doubt if the UK population has suddenly found its personal finances can be starting a regular Ocado delivery visit…

The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Still Holds On

Gold finished the week at $1920 – down from last week’s $1958 and, for squiggle readers, below $1950 support but in the wake of hawkish central bank noises and the useless Andrew Bailey over here it was, for me, quite encouraging.

Piers Pottinger lectures the SNP on Corruption: YES THAT Piers from the MySquar multi million pound fraud – has he no shame?

I guess Piers Pottinger is part of the City and media establishment so the PR man and former chairman of the AIM fraud MySquar (MYSQ), where millions of quid was stolen, not by Piers, but by others who now face criminal charges, can say what he wants. He is part of the great and the good. You may remember that I showed with detailed analysis, exactly, why MySquar was a fraud almost a year before it ran out of other folks’ cash.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: a snake spotted and a mother-in-law joke

I start with an unlikely bromance as Brokerman Dan and Richard "nobody apart from Dan Levi likes me and I don't care" Jennings walk for cats - as you can see here. Then the mother-in-law joke. actually my mother-in--law is a top banana so maybe I should not be so rude. Then a go at BBC Radio 4's Today programme as I comment on events in Russia. Then the woolly thinking on inflation and home owners. Finally Gary's excellent piece on Contango (CGO) today and why he is bang on the money.

With the Footsie Falling, Wiser Eyes Turn to the Pennies, but Make Sure You Do this First.

Hello Share Fanciers. With the Footsie still faltering (though not for long, I fancy) the best way to continue to make dosh in the meantime is to buy penny shares not often affected by lack of progress by the jumbos. But, of course, the risk is much greater.
