There is going to be a massive amount of money flowing into AIM stocks next few months...been told by an insider today that the hedgefund boys are closing their short positions en masse and are going all out long..this golden period will last about 6 months

[johncasey] 07/6/2019 16:38

very strange re spread bets..theyve introduced guaranteed stops on AIM stocks, i think there could be a big rally coming in that sector having been manipulated down now for many months..probably they want to trigger a few stops when markets get volatile

[temmujin] 05/3/2018 07:14

Securities Fraud and Money Laundering Scheme

As alleged in the indictment, between March 2014 and February 2018, Beaufort Securities, Beaufort Management, and managers Kyriacou and Canaye, collectively the “Beaufort Defendants,” together with their co-conspirators, engaged in a scheme to defraud investors and potential investors in various U.S. publicly traded companies by concealing the true ownership of various U.S. publicly traded companies and manipulating the price and trading volume in the stocks of those companies.

Beginning in or about October 2016, an Undercover Agent contacted Kyriacou and stated that he was interested in opening brokerage accounts at Beaufort Securities from which he could execute trades in several multi-million dollar stock manipulation deals.

In furtherance of the scheme, the Beaufort Defendants opened brokerage accounts for their clients in the names of off-shore shell companies with nominee shareholders and directors, and then conducted manipulative trading of stocks of U.S. publicly traded companies listed on U.S. over-the-counter exchanges. Beaufort Securities facilitated at least ten “pump and dump” schemes involving U.S. publicly traded stocks, generating over $50 million in proceeds for its clients. Notably, Beaufort Securities had affirmed to the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) in the United Kingdom in July 2016 that it had taken remedial measures to correct deficiencies in the firm’s financial crime controls and anti-money laundering processes.

Additionally, between January 2011 and February 2018, the Beaufort Defendants; Loyal Bank; Loyal Agency; Baron, the Chief Business Officer of Loyal Bank and a Director of Loyal Agency; and Bullock, the Chief Executive Officer of Loyal Bank and a Director of Loyal Agency, together with their co-conspirators, devised and engaged in a scheme to launder securities fraud proceeds for their clients. To facilitate this scheme, Beaufort Securities transferred funds to corporate bank accounts at Loyal Bank opened in the names of off-shore shell companies that were controlled by the bank’s clients. Loyal Bank then provided debit cards to its clients to withdraw funds from those accounts in an untraceable manner to hide the source of the money and facilitate ongoing securities fraud.

Money Laundering Through Purchase and Sale of Art

Separately, between October 2017 and February 2018, Kyriacou; Aristodemou, the uncle of Kyriacou; and Green, the owner of an art gallery in London, United Kingdom, together with their co-conspirators, agreed to launder £6.7 million, the equivalent of over $9 million dollars, which the Undercover Agent represented to be the proceeds of securities fraud. After initially proposing the use of real estate investments to launder the funds, the co-conspirators devised a scheme to “clean up the money” through the purchase and subsequent sale of art. Aristodemou described the art business as the “only market that is unregulated,” and that art was a profitable investment because of “money laundering.” The defendants proposed the Undercover Agent could purchase from Green a painting by Pablo Picasso entitled “Personnages, Painted 11 April 1965,” and provided paperwork for the painting’s purchase. The money laundering scheme was halted prior to the transfer of ownership of the painting.

The FCA also took regulatory action yesterday against Beaufort Securities and a related clearing firm, including halting all regulated activities and initiating insolvency proceedings against both firms. The SEC filed a civil complaint today against Beaufort Securities and Kyriacou

The charges in the indictment are merely allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

The case is being handled by the Office’s Business and Securities Fraud Section. Assistant United States Attorneys Jacquelyn M. Kasulis, Michael T. Keilty and David Gopstein are in charge of the prosecution. The Criminal Division’s Office of International Affairs provided significant assistance in this matter.

today greatland gold was manipilated down to fill a massive order...not only that spread bets were suspended on buying this stock why the order was filled...AIM is totally corrupt in favour of the big boys

[temmujin] 17/10/2017 20:38

big and small investors are getting fed up with the crooked practices on AIM..I THINK its time for a clear out and cleansing of the system from top to bottom

Listen to DL talking about shorting scum and marketmakers

[flowc] 19/8/2017 14:06

So I interpret from the comment that Jarvis is Registered BPR listed share?

[cwa1] 11/5/2017 09:31

Already stuffed to the gills with JIM and(thankfully) ASY, so today is a very nice one :-)

Any others that you, or anyone else, have spotted that are worthy of investigation in the IHT/BPR area?

Jarvis Securities plc (JIM)
("Jarvis" or "the Company")
DIVIDEND DECLARATION & TRADING STATEMENT

The Board of Jarvis announces that it is declaring a second quarterly interim dividend of 6 pence per share, to be paid on 8 June 2017 to shareholders on the register on 19 May 2017.

The Board is pleased to announce that pre-tax profit for the four months to April 2017 has increased significantly compared to the same period in the prior year. During this period revenues have increased 25% driven by organic growth in the business and improved market conditions. In the same period costs have increased 7%.
The Board forecasts that pre-tax profit for the year ended 2017 will be significantly above current market expectations.

Andrew Grant, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "I am delighted to be able to announce such a positive trading update. Market volumes have remained consistently buoyant since the conclusion of the Brexit referendum and we continue to add both institutional and retail clients to our business. For our shareholders a growing business means growing dividends, and we anticipate the total 2017 dividend payment will be well above current market expectations."

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

A Dividend Reinvestment Plan is being offered and the final date for elections for reinvestment of the first quarterly interim dividend is 25 May 2017. Any shareholder requiring further information should contact the Company.

Should Jarvis Securities plc (AIM:JIM) be part of your dividend portfolio?

[cwa1] 30/3/2017 07:52

Good stuff all, thanks. Might be worth using this thread as a venue for AIM shares you have found that are worth a look at for the purposes of IHT/BPR?

I believe the thread starter doesn't post much. or at all, on ADVFN any more and it's not as if it is ever used for its actual purpose anyway.

Unless there is any demand for setting up a dedicated thread?

FWIW I hold:

BOO
RST
RNWH
STAF
TEF
WGB




The late great Jim Slater was writing articles for the Daily Telegraph on this subject right up to just before his death. He recommended a number of stocks for this purpose. They included some of the above plus:


BREE
CLIN
CVSG
RCN
TCM



Another telegraph article listed others they believed to qualify:

Finally, we ran the companies past Octopus Investments and Investor’s Champion to asses their eligibility for the relief. The following were judged as being likely to qualify at the moment.

Character Group

The firm designs, develops and distribute toys. Current product lines inlcude the latest Teletubbies range, Dr Who, Fireman Sam and Scooby Doo. The shares enjoyed a strong 2015 but continue to be tipped, with a Panmure note in January rating it a buy. The current price-to-earnings (p/e) ratio, where lower figures represent better value, is 10.

Alternative Networks

This is an IT services company sells to businesses. The shares peaked in 2014 but the company has been rated a buy by multiple analysts since then. They trade on a p/e ratio of 19.5.

Zytronic

It makes smartphones and tablets screen, but also ones on a much bigger scale. It has made devices for CocaCola, and built displays for the Natural History Museum in London. Shares are on p/e of 15 times.

[doubleorquits] 29/3/2017 21:34

An old article going back to 2005 but still relevant imo.
Octopus did publish a list of their AIM shares back in the day but I no longer have it. They still run portfolios for individuals on a bespoke basis (for a fee of course) but there may be evidence somewhere on the net still of what they are holding which would give a very good idea of their views on particular shares.

Thanks zangdook will take a look.

Hi Jim

I raised the subject recently on the JTC thread. There were a few responses, and this article which I found helpful

[jimbowen30] 14/3/2017 19:58

Thanks CWA, I will have a look.
