Tertiary Minerals (TYM) seems to think that its investors are the dumbest folk going and with the shares up by 75% at 0.32p maybe it is right for today’s news of a £600,000 placing is just an almighty spoof. For starters this is not a £600,000 placing!

Nice work for the flippers – especially since the shares were 0.41p immediately before the announcement and thus the discount was a tasty 33%.
