I have always believed that Imagination Technologies (LSE:IMG) is a good company. And you have to pay for quality. But you can overpay for quality and right now that is what investors in this stock are being asked to do. The company issued a detailed trading statement on 12 March which should not have provided […]

I note an announcement the other day that Blinkx (LSE:BLNX) had granted yet another 1.5 million share options to its senior execs. The subject of executive share options always seems to cause some folks to get their knickers in a twist. I am not so sure. Firstly 1.5 million shares is a lot of shares […]

Shares in Cupid (LSE:CUP), the AIM-listed online dating business have tanked since some unhelpful media coverage in January. But calendar 2012 results last week should have silenced the critics. They did not. Neither did the CEO splashing out c£1 million to buy 865,000 shares at 114p. This is bizarre. What is going on? I tipped […]

In November I commented that shares in AIM-listed IQE plc (LSE:IQE) – a company headquartered in a land where no-one has ever, ever molested a sheep which provides products and services to the global semiconductor industry – remained a buy at a then 28.75p share price. By the middle of this month the shares were […]

I last wrote on AIM-listed printing company Printing.com (LSE:PDC) following its interim results in November. The shares then traded at 32p, but are currently down at 28.25p following the company announcing today that softer than anticipated European trading and increased marketing expenditure on new initiatives mean “that it is now likely that the company will […]

Widows, orphans, welfare scroungers who need a guaranteed £200 a month to feed their horse, those looking for safe dividends, yield and asset backing…look away. This stock is not for you. It is uber-speculative. But the risk reward play-off is very attractive indeed. AIM listed Forbidden Technologies (LSE:FBT)  could go bust. But I doubt it […]

Tech stocks are different. Well that is what those who promote them say. It will be different this time. We can capitalise whatever expenses we want so claim that we are making profits. A PE of 137 is justified because of our growth prospects. Our technology will change the world. So we must be massively […]

 I first recommended this stock to readers of my Nifty Fifty website several weeks ago at a 233p offer price. My best tips go first to those that pay and I should make that abundantly clear. But the stock is still cheap at 256p (mid) and should head to 375p within a year. Here is […]

In December I upgraded my stance on AIM-listed provider of e-learning software and business training ILX Group (LSE:ILX) to ‘speculative buy’ on the back of the moves being made by new executive chairman/interim CEO Wayne Bos. These continued yesterday with the announcement of a partnership with, and option to acquire, CareShield Ltd, described as “the […]
