I refer, of course, to smokers. Before Malcolm gets on his high horse, hear me out. What I say is logical if a bit crazy. In that vein I also discuss the mad idea of buying the ten worst stocks on AIM and ask for your nominations. I start with Catenae Innovation (CTEA), Tern (TERN), Clear Leisure (CLP) and Attis Oil & Gas (AOGL). I also discuss the crazy idea of buying FinnCap (FCAP) shares.

The Woodlarks walk appeal is now at 34% please, as I start another training walk this afternoon, donate HERE.

I know what I am thinking about and also know that I should not be thinking of such wicked pleasures. It is not that I actually crave
