LSE Market News

An email was sent out by a leading financial websites group to its readers on Friday with the headline : “The one stock to own before the New Year.” I do not know where to begin with this shocking tale but if you bought that stock (and it is clear some folks did) you need […]

I wrote a no holds barred piece on Centamin (LSE:CEY) yesterday which seems to have attracted a furious response from a range of Bulletin Board morons, cowards and professional Tom Winnifrith haters. Well folks you were wrong and I was right. Tough. All website traffic is much appreciated and so here goes again. Just for the […]

AIM Listed Alexander Mining (LSE:AXM) has not been one of my better tips from my 12 years at t1ps. Recommended at 6.625p in June 2008 the shares are now 4.75p. I was urged by some former colleagues to dump the shares at 2p in the summer but (unlike them) I bothered to speak to the […]

Hydraulic fracturing or fracking for shale gas can now again be implemented in the United Kingdom as Britain’s Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has lifted suspension of the said process over a year after the same was believed to be the cause of seismic tremors in the northwest region of England.

I’ve been watching the FTSE 250 index this morning as it has been struggling to reach its all time high of 12,220.  Through the morning it has climbed over 30 points, but the last four or five were the toughest.  Then, during the noon hour, just when it appeared that the 2007 record was about […]

As private investors we have come to loathe private placings. If the shares are 10p before City fund managers are made insiders they are 8p by the time a placing is completed as somehow word seeps out. Odd that. And so the placing is done at a 20% discount to 8p and a stock which […]
