LSE Market News

At 2.55 PM shares in oil services group Lamprell (LSE:LAM) were trading at 123.75p. They closed at 126.75p. What happened? Once again it was a tip on Onefreesharetip.com that moved the market. Thousands of investors are already ahead of the curve, receiving one free share tip every day from a panel of around 20 leading […]

It is not often that I comment on broker’s notes as most are pretty worthless. Normally I post comment if I disagree violently or agree strongly. Which brings me to the VSA Resources note out today on Russian gold producer Highland Gold (LSE:HGM). The problem with gold is that it is usually found in dodgy […]

Another day and another upbeat announcement from AIM-listed blinkx plc (LSE:BLNX), which describes itself as “the world’s largest and most advanced video search engine.” Today’s news is of a partnership with Dailymotion. In itself that has not prompted analysts ( or me) to increase forecasts but it has given a greater degree of certainty on […]

Ahead of interim results expected in mid March, K3 Business Technology (LSE:KBT) has, disappointingly, announced that “due to the deferral in signing certain significant retail deals, coupled with investment in the group’s Microsoft AX offering, K3 will generate pre-tax profits below current market forecasts”.

New chief executive asked to relocate Rio Tinto’s HQ to Australia. British-Australian miners Rio Tinto’s new chief executive, Sam Walsh, has been told to move its headquarters to Australia by mining billionaire Gina Rinehart, arguing that it will benefit “shareholders who have seen much diminution in value via investments in risky countries, and for the […]

I met up with Roger Lawson of ShareSoc last week to chat about life and record a video. The son of a miner, Roger is a self made man and commands my respect for that. When I lash out at an aspect of AIM, the City establishment can dismiss me as a maverick. See if […]

This morning AIM listed penny dreadful oil producer Sefton Resources (LSE:SER) has via its lawyer Pinsent Masons sent lawyers letters to myself and BrokerMan Daniel. Such is the competence of this company that it sent the hard copy to an address that I have not lived in for three years. Luckily it got the email […]

On 15th January AIM listed super IPO of 2012 WANdisco (LSE:WAND) served up what was a very upbeat and impressive trading statement prompting modest upgrades from its paid for research lackeys at Edison and GE&CR and sending the shares soaring ahead to a 577.5p share price. The 2014 PE ratio is now in the region […]
