Panto.......mine. Hi hows it going Master RSI, have you added to your handles this week.????????

ps, keep taking the drugs.

Strange how you post normaly on advfn but revert to Pigeon English here.

We arent stupid you know even if admin do put up with you. (it wont last so make the best of it ramping all over the board) ive saved the ramps to WORD.

Not long now before i present them to the FCA.

jimmy b - 04 Jul 2014 15:30 - 1290 of 1559

Mine was a joke panto , i don't have any beef with anyone on these boards ,i find the crowd here generally good.

Now back to TCG ,still not in yet .

panto - 04 Jul 2014 17:09 - 1291 of 1559

Threats of a FOOL go nowhere but in the dusbin or in the toilet with you diarreha images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRISD9E2-wO2AnRvd7FysU

-------------------

I know "jim" but it was a good point to make on my part

did you noticed...the he/she started the thread

cynic - 04 Jul 2014 17:15 - 1292 of 1559

sticks - I often agree with your analyses, but you should also give fair credit to panto (or whoever he happens to be) as there is no denying that he has recently found some very interesting and well-performing stocks - as well as at least a couple of stinkers

Chris Carson - 04 Jul 2014 17:30 - 1293 of 1559

Yes Farquir, Mick Kipper, Mechanical Trader, Goldfinger, Fishfinger do one LOL!!!!!

goldfinger - 04 Jul 2014 18:12 - 1294 of 1559

Cynic, I have evidence of him on a few occasions now using 2 alias on the same thread interacting to raise the SP.

This is not the same as a poster posting at random on differing threads with a different handle. Its INTERACTION by the same person to defraud people of their money.

Now if your comfourtable with that fine, I arent , its called ramping and its a criminal offence.

Anyway Ive saved it to word and will be presnting it to the FCA, just a few things to tie up before sending it.

cynic - 04 Jul 2014 18:27 - 1295 of 1559

I don't think BBs can have any noticeable influence on sp movement except perhaps where a stock is very illiquid or thinly traded

goldfinger - 04 Jul 2014 19:10 - 1296 of 1559

If thats the case why does every B/Board carry a WARNING NOTICE!!!!!!!.

Anyway thats not the point and stop being a silly devil if just one person gets defrauded thats one person too many.

Well unless its Chris Carson.

Just seen a piece by Winnie on this, hes short and says........

2. Thomas Cook (TCG) at 127.5p – The CEO is a ghastly self-publicist which I always a bad sign. And I reckon trading is tough and so am expecting the end of month trading statement to be a profits warning. Post profits warning target price sub 100p. - See more at: http://www.shareprophets.advfn.com/views/6470/evil-knievil-lucian-miers-matt-earl-and-tom-winnifrith-the-top-10-stocks-in-london-to-short-for-summer#sthash.fmr3EfEg.dpuf

jimmy b - 21 Jul 2014 16:12 - 1300 of 1559

Down it goes again , was happy buying in and out a while back , not now .
How low will it go ?

cynic - 23 Jul 2014 09:02 - 1301 of 1559

i wonder if the bears are beginning to close out to book their profits before the numbers - due tomorrow from memory

31 July 2014 Q3 2014 Interim Management Statement.

goldfinger - 29 Jul 2014 16:36 - 1303 of 1559

Winnie says watch out for a profit warning.

Can we believe him??

Not a holder but interesting stock.

dreamcatcher - 29 Jul 2014 16:38 - 1304 of 1559

I suspect only so many cuts can be made, perhaps so.

jimmy b - 29 Jul 2014 16:41 - 1305 of 1559

Odd that directors bought recently at 158p (i think) if they know there is a profit warning coming . I'm not in this at present ..

skinny - 29 Jul 2014 16:44 - 1306 of 1559

I don't hold atm - the chart caught my eye - hence post 1302.

Chart.aspx?Provider=EODIntra&Code=TCG&Si

goldfinger - 29 Jul 2014 16:50 - 1307 of 1559

Heres the article from Winnie, not too convincing but the SP as colapsed since he called it.

2. Thomas Cook (TCG) at 127.5p – The CEO is a ghastly self-publicist which I always a bad sign. And I reckon trading is tough and so am expecting the end of month trading statement to be a profits warning.

Evil Knievil, Lucian Miers, Matt Earl and Tom Winnifrith – the top 10 stocks in London to short for summer
BY TOM WINNIFRITH | WEDNESDAY 9 JULY 2014

301


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.

Anyone who was at UK Investor 2014 knows that the Bears session (HERE) saw some great calls. And so ahead of a long sweaty summer I asked Evil Knievil, Matt Earl (The Dark Destroyer) and Lucian Miers for their top 5 shorts of the summer and for good measure I add in my own. Between us we have thus compiled the top ten stocks to short in London!

Starring with the heavyweight – Evil Knievil. His top 5 are:

1. PureCircle (PURE) at 612.5p – never generates cash, grotesquely overvalued, cannot see business model stacking up, Red Flags in accounts – target price sub 200p

2. Quindell (QPP) at 184p ( and falling fast) – Red Flag Central, grave fears about cash position, change in business model alarming, still will not answer simple questions – target price “buttons”

3. Plus500 (PLUS) at 458p – on comparator metrics to, say, IG looks grossly overvalued – target price, sub 200p

4.New World Resources (NWR) at 12.125p – restructuring will shaft shareholders – target price 1.9p

5. Concha (CHA) at 1.95p – trading at a vast premium to cash, will have to do the deal of the century to justify that. It won’t. Target price 0.95p.

Next up Matt Earl (The Dark Destroyer). His top 5 are:

1. Avanti Communications (AVN) at 242p – where is the trading statement? We had one this time last year? Keeps on announcing spurious contract wins, drowning in debt, not generating cash and needs an urgent equity raise. Target price? Pennies.

2. Quindell (QPP) at 184p (and falling) – Matt’s analysis is the same as Evil’s and he also agrees on target price.

3. Globo (GBO) at 54.5p – has changed its business mode in an alarming way, is not generating cash – target price…pennies

4. Mothercare (MTC) at 264p – dies not believe that Destination Maternity has the muscle to take on Mothercare and its debts/financial obligations. Without a bid Mothercare needs to raise fresh equity urgently. Target price sub 120p.

5. Avanti Communications (AVN) at 242p – such a stonking short it merit a second mention.

And now the Bard of the Boleyn, Lucian Miers. His top 5 are:

1. Quindell (QPP) at 184p (and falling) – agrees with Evil’s analysis and target price. By a country mile the most obvious short in London.

2. Plus500 (PLUS) at 458p –again he agrees with Evil’s analysis.

3. PureCircle (PURE) at 612p – again he agrees with Evil’s analysis.

4. Globo (GBO) at 54.5p – Lucian agrees with Matt’s analysis.

5. Naibu (NBU) – Lucian does not believe the numbers and is stunned by the failure of management to attend the AGM and answer easy questions. Target price is pennies.

And finally to me. The top five shorts from the Sheriff of AIM in a very deliberate order are:

1. Quindell (QPP) at 184p (and falling) – my target price is 20p but I am starting to think that I am being rather generous. The company will not answer simple questions about things in its annual report and RNS statements that just do not stack up. The sudden change in business model at QLS is alarming and its Industrial Deafness projects are not believable. I sense cash will soon be a very real issue. Pro tem I will stick with a 20p target but expect a downgrade.

2. Thomas Cook (TCG) at 127.5p – The CEO is a ghastly self-publicist which I always a bad sign. And I reckon trading is tough and so am expecting the end of month trading statement to be a profits warning. Post profits warning target price sub 100p.

3. Globo (GBO) at 54p – as above. Target price 25p. For starters.

4. Naibu (NBU) as above. Target price 1p as per article earlier today HERE

5. I’m tempted to go with Concha (CHA) but on balance Avanti Communications (AVN) at 242p – target price by September if it gets cash call away 120p. If not..buttons.

And so merging all four lists the top ten stocks to short for a profitable summer by mention and ranking in individual lists are:

1. Quindell - 4 mentions and the top short of all 4 men
2. Globo – 3 mentions and Matt Earl’s second top short
3. Avanti Communications 3 – albeit Matt Earl casting two votes
4. PureCircle – 2 votes
5. Plus500 – 2 votes
6. Naibu – 2 votes
7. Concha – 1 vote and 1 almost vote
8. Thomas Cook – 1 vote
9. Mothercare – 1 vote
10. New World Resources – 1 vote
