The 49’ers series continues with my newest book – the 49 Golden Rules of Making Money from oil, gas and mining stocks. You can buy it on Amazon for £6.25. Or we have 500 free copies to give away and you can download yours HERE
This time I have a co-writer in Ben Turney. Before anyone says it I have made mistakes investing in resource – notably mining – stocks. I hope that I have learned from them. And some of those lessons should come through in this short book.
This book is not aimed at experts but at private investors who want to dabble in the fascinating world of resource shares - gold, base metals, oil and gas. I hope there is something for everyone. Accendo has sponsored this project and thanks to it there are 500 free copies ready to download - just fill in the form HERE.
Happy reading.

This morning’s RNS from AIM Cesspit posterboy Greed Dragon Gas (GDG) plumbs new depths when it comes to spinning bad news as good. The company, its Nomad (Smith & Williamson) and its PR firm (Pelham Bell Pottinger, PR man James Henderson) should all be taken out and shot. This is such a total frigging disgrace in describing black as white. Words almost escape me.

I happen to think that Ortac (OTC) is a well-run company with some interesting assets but today’s £500,000 placing at 0.25p shows in the starkest of terms why the AIM Cesspit so urgently needs reform to stop the systematic buggering (without the lubrication of profit) of private investors.
I draw your attention to the chart below which shows the share price over the past week. On 13th January Ortac issued what looked to be a cracking RNS as I noted HERE

The shares responded by heading up to a height of 0.33p on Thursday at the close. And guess what the company announced a placing today at just 0.25p. Now I do not blame Ortac. This leaves it with £3 million in the kitty and with a market cap (at 0.275p) of c£7 million its two assets are really in there for sod all. Being well funded is prudent.

6 bullish RNS releases since September 17th. Rampity, rampity, ramp. All we need now is an independent/ paid for research report produced by uber-posh police assaulting pisshead, oops I meant to say respected mining analyst, Charlie Gibson of Edison setting a telephone number target price for the shares. Then Private Investors could get totally screwed by Sovereign Mines of Africa (SMA).

Greed, as I argued at the weekend, is good. I believe in capitalism in its purest form. But AIM is not pure capitalism it is crony capitalism, a mechanism for transferring wealth from the many (that will be you reading this piece, private investors) to the few.
I was chatting to Paul Scott on this matter earlier. He used the phrase Cannon Fodder to describe how some in the City view private investors. He is kind. I would say most in the City view we mere plebs in this way.
The fact is that 80% of companies on AIM will never, ever generate a cent of free cashflow.

Have you ever felt used by a lover? Someone strings you along, exploits you in the sack and then turns round and says sorry that is it. You served a purpose, the other side got what it wanted and now you are done. No not suffered such pain? Hmmm. Well, try being a shareholder in Sefton Resources or any one of numerous little companies on AIM who treat private investors in just such a manner and you will get to know what it feels like. I use Sefton as an example because I am thinking of applying to Mastermind with my specialist subject being “misleading press releases and statements issued by Sefton Resources 2009-2013” but it is just one of many
