I wrongly assumed they were gimme free shares for service, not though, jeez.

Tell you what, I take my hat off to the brokers that got it away at that price to begin with. I have to admit I tried to short it on day 1 but couldn't.

Pleasure. Tough call going long on anything atm Imo, divvy plays maybe, not my field really I need a higher return on capital.

Haha, flattery will get you everywhere. Calls on the 140.00 bottom was entirely technical, think we got a little help from the new appointment at 170.00 but we all need a bit of luck sometimes.

Einhorn, short tsla, long bt what's not to like

M&S why would anyone want to own a high street retail play atm, even M&S

Centrica is in a sector I have no expertise in whatsoever.

I've never charted any of these.

But assuming the co goes forward privately at least then there is still value there

I'm sure ma5k will do a far better summary, over to you m8

Misread your post probably:-)

RR, worth looking up the origin and meaning of your thread title, no quite sure it's what you meant unless you've suddenly switched camps

Star re complacency, I can't help feel there are safer shorts around but I'm also aware it's difficult to borrow most AIM stocks at the moment.

For example PURP was borrowable as it fell from 490.00 to 350.00 or thereabouts thereafter brokers wanted 30% interest on borrow, hasn't stopped it going to 200.00 though

would say that most complaints about short selling are a classic case of 'privatise the profits and socialise the losses'. By this I mean that when things go well everyone likes to pat themselves on the back and say how clever they are. In contrast, when things go badly, rather than accept responsibility for poor decision making, everyone looks around for external culprits to take the blame. And right now these culprits are unnamed hedge funds/short sellers...

Just a general point not board specific, apologies

If you've a spare 5mins, balanced piece, worth a read :-)

Fair snuff, just seemed a bit of a fuss about some imposter or summat the other day

Briefly hit 1.51 bid in August but close.

Good balanced piece by Gary Newman on SP today, worth a read

Trump really starting to scare me now fps

Turning into ADVFN again

Maybe the world consumerism and growth period is/should be over (bit unfair on those countries catching up) and we need to we need to move to some kind of static maintenance of living standards. Obviously complete political suicide for any party to suggest this but equally this obsessive need for constantly growing economies through a new sofa on credit every year seems strange to me sometimes too

Scary numbers.

Thank you Star
