Reading through various threads on the bb there is often reference to Evil K and his "evil cast". I assume this is where he gives his thoughts on the market? is it a bb and how is it accessed?
many thanks

liz,
'Evil kneivel' aka Simon Caukwell is a famous shorter, as well as occasional investor.
He sprang to fame by making some very good short calls on the market, and is an accountant by profession. He trawls through company accounts looking for reasons for a share to fall, or why a share is overvalued.
He has made a huge loss (3 million I believe) on a Regus short position that went wrong recently, so even the guru's are wrong sometimes!
Simon writes his "evilcast" for www.T1ps.com, an investment website run by Tom Winnifrith. It is a subscription website, and costs around 70 per annum.
Evilcast is his take on the market, and mentions his short and long positions, with an explantion to justify each position.
I used to be a subscriber, but to be honest, I didn't seem to gain any value, so let it lapse.
Hope this helps.

GF,
Thanks for the tip!
Will keep an eye on Sanctuary, I don't short, but maybe it's time to start?
Cheers.
