The Evil Diaries: “Patience will pay off”

I wondered why Concha (CHA) inched up to the silly level of 1.5p. Today, all is clear: a fresh 85m options at 1.18p have been granted to the workers. I make 1.18p therefore to be the new cap. TP for today? 0.6p, I suppose.

I bought more Tyratech in TYR form at 2.5p. This means a long wait to get into marketable TYRU form. But I think patience will pay off.

Clear Leisure (CLP) might be very cheap. Anyway, I trousered a further 2m at 0.94p yesterday. Were it not for the fact that the debt climate is dreadful both in Italy and elsewhere I would be greedier.

*****

African Potash (AFPO) still seems to me to be a fake company. Yesterday’s RNS very probably portends nothing of which to speak.

*****

I sold Ocado (OCDO) short yet again yesterday. I have tried to find the bull case. But it just ain’t there.

Finally, about thirty-five years ago I read what was for me a seminal book by George Steiner entitled The Tower of Babel. It advised that since the beginning of time there had been fifteen thousand entirely separate languages, of which only 5,000 are still operational. I concluded that that is how things are: it’s the way privacy is maintained. So when the europhile brigade imposed metrication by stealth or deception (as you will) I resented them.

These so and sos are still at it. Central to their Pro EU line is to hide the central truth that above all else they must support the EU and achieve ever closer political union. So they lie for breakfast, lunch and dinner as to the benefits derived through EU membership. At least with the Brexit brigade one knows one is being told the truth as they see it.
