I do not short shares. I never have and never will but if I am sorely tempted to open a short on Matt Moulding’s THG (THG) at 31.6p, a £524 million market cap. I have always been a bear and so have called this stock as a sell from its 500p IPO in September 2020. Unlike the sell side analysts who kiss Matt Moulding’s posterior and have always done so I have always called this correctly.
But it is still a short and is shortable. This week I am running a series of articles explaining why I am so tempted to open my shorting account. I now turn to another related party transaction.

I start by thanking both Jim Mellon and Nigel Wray who have eached pledged £1000 to Rogue bloggers for Woodlarks, ahead of June 13 when I shall be walking around my fields here in Wales. Woodlarks needs £48,000 to survive the year. We have now raised 17% of that, please can you make a donation, however small, today to get us closer to target. Please give HERE. I then launch into a heartfelt defence of Roger Lawson of Sharesoc over what appears to be an undeclared related party deal at the organisation that campaigns for improved corporate governance and transparency. Then I look at Imperial Brands (IMB) and First Derivatives (FDP), one a stonking long the other a stonking short.

Oh dear, this really is a clusterfuck even by the lowly standards of the AIM Casino. You will remember that AIM listed Glenwick (GWIK), linked via Peterhouse Corporate Finance and Amanda Van Dyke to fellow AIM dog Paternoster Resources (PRS) in a related party snakefest, has had its shares suspended an RTO but there have been a few problemos. Oh dear. Oh dear.
