The share price of Tissue Regenix Group plc (LSE:TRX) ignited and launched upward by 20% today to 20.85.  There is no question about the reason why.  The company has just signed seven independent sales agreements for representation in the U.S.  Forty different sales representatives will present TRX’s proprietary dCELL® technology-based products to surgeons and hospitals […]

When Perry Como (a pre-Beatles, American crooner) sang “When the Moon Hits Your Eye Like a Big Pizza Pie – That’s Amoré,” I looked up “amoré” in the dictionary and decided if that’s what love is like, I didn’t want any part of it.  Of course, I was only about ten years old, so I […]

Sirius Petroleum (LSE:SRSP) and BG Group (LSE:BG.), virtual David and Goliaths of the oil industry made public discoveries of significant and previously unexpected recoverable resources in their fields off the coast of Africa.

As I was saying yesterday, investors, especially those with large amounts at stake, need to take a closer look when the company in which they are investing indicates that they are on a cost-cutting campaign. This discussion was motivated by the Royal Bank of Scotland’s (LSE:RBS) computer system crash that, among other things, blocked customers […]

I poured my morning coffee, unfolded my newspaper, and nearly choked on the headline:  RBS Admits Decades of IT Neglect.  All I could think was, “You blithering idiots!” I’m not going to discuss RBS share price (LSE:RBS) today, although I will say that it is, inexplicably, up 0.30 pence to 331.40, about one-tenth of one […]
