Previously writing on self-styled “global leader in intelligent automation for the enterprise” Blue Prism Group (PRSM), in January with the shares down to around 1400p I concluded that the short interest remains understandable. The shares last closed at 1077p… and are currently further lower on the back of a “First half trading update”. So, what’s the latest?…

Matt Earl of Shadowfall, aka the Dark Destroyer, has published a devastating dossier on £1.6 billion capitalised Blue Prism (PRSM). The company is yet to respond but it is hard to see what it can say in the face of clear dynamite. The dossier is below in full. The shares appear to be utterly uninvestable.

A “Director/PDMR Shareholding” announcement from Blue Prism Group (PRSM) which commences “Blue Prism (AIM: PRSM), a global leader in Robotic Process Automation today announces that Eric Verniaut has joined the company as Chief Operating Officer”. Eric purchased some shares in the company then?...
Hello, Share Crazies. This old punter has a weakness for companies with rather exotic names. But that’s not the reason I commend Blue Prism (PRSM) to your further research today. I just happen to think that robotics is the way forward. And Blue Prism uses intelligent robotic software to decrease the number of boring jobs that we humans have to do...

A “Director/PDMR Shareholding” announcement from Blue Prism Group (PRSM). Following a £100 million placing just last month to “strengthen our leadership position and allow us to capitalise on… significant potential in our connected-robotic process automation and its ability to transform operations across geographies and sectors”, a purchase then?...
With help from Chris "three brains" Bailey and the Sun Newspaper I explain the logic behind young Steve's weekend plans. I then look at GLI Finance (GLIF), try to explain a few points to a man who attacks a bearcast he has not listened to (Brokerman Dan), Flybe (FLYB ), Blue Prism (PRSM) - surely a stonking short - and Westminster Group (WSG) and its record of cash guzzling shame.
Hello, Share Takers. I’ve been searching for more companies which, like Zoo Digital (ZOO), have A-list companies among their clients. My thinking is that firms which attract household names among their clients must have been given a very careful look-over first. Big companies cannot afford to make mistakes and they have the funds to do a bit of quality snooping before they buy...

“Robotic Process Automation” group Blue Prism (PRSM) has updated commencing “the board is pleased to report that the strong sales momentum seen in the first half of 2018 has continued, with a strong second half, particularly in the fourth quarter”.

Blue Prism (PRSM), “a global leader in Robotic Process Automation, is pleased to announce a pre-close trading update in respect of the six months ended 30 April 2018”. Ooooh - a more than £1 billion capitalised “global leader” pleased to update, should be good then…

I race to an early bearcast today as I have my weekly date with the fit young mums to look forward to. On the agenda in Nighthawk (HAWK), Vertu (VTU), BCA Marketplace (BCA), Hornby (HRN), Infrastrata (INFA) - where the CEO is talking cock - Blue Prism (PRSM) and North Midland Construction (NMD) which might well be a real buy after today's warning. Or maybe not.
In the excitement I forgot to mention Nomates but you can see a chart below that he'd rather you did not. It is self explanatory and my father wants to clarify that like Larry Cummins of Milestone (MSG) infamy he does not have a degree from Oxford. But unlike Lyin' Larry he has two. I discuss Milestone, Blue Prism (PRSM), AIQ (AIQ), 13 Energy (I3E) and focus on Frontera Resources (FRR) and include in my coverage the sordid role of fat bastard, that is to say Malcolm Graham Wood.
I noted yesterday that Blue Prism (PRSM) was one of the most shorted shares on AIM. And having had a butchers at the numbers I can see why.
From the FCA's spreadsheet of short positions required to be disclosed to it, the following shows the shorted AIM shares with positions from 2016 and thus far in 2017 (by net short position %) - and if this position has increased (red), reduced (green) or remained unchanged (black) since last week...
