Lombard Risk: The Curse of Phil “InterX” Crawford – tits up by Easter?

I tipped shares in Lombard Risk Management (LRM) but cut (very small) losses at 11p when founder John Wisbey was ousted and replaced at the helm by Phil “InterX” Crawford.

Outsourcery – When’s the rescue bailout? Crony Capitalists at work…

On 27th June, AIM listed Outsourcery (OUT) announced that it was holding a “Capital Markets Day.” Hmmm, this is an £12 million capitalised AIM listed POS with pretensions is it not?

Yesterday Mothercare issued a statement which reads:
