Shame to see this I started my Investment days on the old Jenkins matched trades platform many years back. Met some good mates along the way. Never really thought they would survive but it was fun but ohh so illiquid.
Wonder if AIM will be next. Hope not but their is some s---e on their. Especially foreign stocks.

ohhhh it was after dot com then I think it was the recovery in may 2003 and afterwards but cant remember like you .
Jenkins was way before that.
Problem is unqouted site aint their anymore. Their were other small sites that covered. Winnifrith had one and sharecentre, plus a chap called Conrad Widnham he had a site. All dissapeared. Writing was on the wall.
Wasnt Medical Marketing was it the stock. that was a 30 bagger for me. Ashpool was another favourite. Think Motion Media started their aswell. Britania Finance. The gooners were on their. Some well know names but I havent been on for about 5 years now.
Peter Hippy a very well know PI and angel investor was a big fan I heard he died last year in a motor bike accident in Bangcock only in his early 50s. Hed have been very sad to see it go down.

Will be doing an update over the weekend.
JUST ONE THING LEFT TO SAY DONT LET IDIOTS TURN THIS B/BOARD INTO AN ADWANK.
Fight back help and support those that are targeted by idiots. If you close in on them they will go. No need to be nasty. Support those who support you.

Very interesting. Cheers Januk.
To be honest ive more or less always got on well with Winnie.
Just after dot com boom we often swapped B/Board tweets etc. 2 am in the morning. hes a hard working bloke I know that.
Think his problem is sucking up to other guys rather than going for his own ideas.
Ive told him but he bites back.
Evil K is totaly different and is a big mate of Winnies.
Fact is tho Evil goes for his own not others.
I give him a ring every week most times thursday and we swap ideas.
Problem with Evil is his trades are more or less.......... "shit or bust"
Not my style.

Just been looking at Cynics style of trading up above on other threads.
To me that Guy is top drawer.
I know he can work posters up but his trading style is lethal.
Top Man as far as I am concerned.

Gone long on TCY been waiting for a long time for this one to revert back to mean and its now right on the 25/26 day ema.
Lower indicators could be a lot better, but then again so could any charts at the moment bar odd one or two. September contract to give a little more risk aversion.
