Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
Just to give you a flavour of yesterday's farce of a GM at Conroy Gold & Natural Resources (CGNR). The serious implications are outlined HERE. Below you see the board, then the audience packed with Conroy stooges, average age 126. Finally a picture of one old coot who on the second vote of five appeared to switch sides to join the rebels. Was it the power of my quizzing of Prof Conroy that had turned him? Er...no. A couple of minutes later he raised his hand to say that he had voted the wrong way and could his mistake be reversed. It was not a room in which to crack jokes about Alzheimer's although such bad taste would soon have been forgotten by most of those attending.
