The phrase ‘not for widows and orphans’ could have been coined for newspapers like the Daily Mail.
The decreasingly read troubled newspaper has told the City a story that has a seductive chance of success. Indeed, the story proved to be just loads of rubbish and caused nervous selling by weak holders. Even worse, some readers went on to short the highly undervalued stock fuelled by gossip that colourful article writer's (Geoff Foster) plan to find ‘rescue’ to cover his bias and agenda has hit big trouble.
Apparently, the Daily Mail is losing a lot of readers. Not only that desperate readers will run out of cash in about eight weeks if they follow its tips, they actually pay money for the paper! But institutions have so far given the Daily Mail a big Thank you for giving them an excellent chance to buy the already undervalued shares at an even lower price. New readers are giving the Mail the bargepole treatment.
Recent speculation has suggested that the Daily Mail will have just a handful of readers if it continues to misguide them.
‘No chance,’ said an informed Mail Reader, ‘Not at this standards of journalism. There is no guarantee whatsoever that the Mail will be trustworthy again. I am not buying it anymore’
The source went on to say: ‘I have lost a lot of money selling my mortgage money holding in VOG, I also went short. Who exactly is the Mail going to sell its stories to? Why take a chance in what has often proved to be a dangerous newspaper agenda?
Other papers are eating into the Mail readership at an increasing levels. Some in the sector wonder whether the paper is even sustainable.
9tintin informed us of a leak from the paper: "All the Daily Mail share tipsters are tipping Victoria Oil & Gas for 2006, except Geoff Foster who doesn't know his arse from his elbow"
Walter has decribed an incident invloving a mysterious DM reporter: "A DM reporter has been seriously injured in an explosion while being entertained by VOG management. Apparantly, Kevin Foo had eaten a bucket of mushy peas and drunk a bottle of vodka just as the Daily Mail reporter lit up for an after dinner ciggy. KF denied any wrongdoing but did have to change his underpants afterwards."
However, some sources has a different view. robbiepaul suggested "No, we should be thanking GF for it was his bullshit that allwoed us to buy more at well under £1."
seangwhite has placed a bet on Geoff Foster "being nominated for the 'Fiction Writer of the Year - under 12 category' he is bound to win."
Topsy Has an interesting use for the paper! Apart from it's use as internal packing in parcels, or in dire emergencies when you've completely run out of toilet rolls, I can't think of any other uses for it!
but theBuddha disagree: "I wouldn't wrap my fish and chips in the DM. Even the print is poisonous. Not sure I'd wrap my chips in any Tabloid though. They're all scum."
