I recently came across this Hoare Govett Smaller Companies index for the first time while researching smallcap investing. It covers the bottom 10 per cent by value of the UK stock market. There's a video about it here. The index has now been extended back to 1955 and also boasts various derivations - such as the HG1000, the smallest 1,000 stocks, and the HSGC plus…

I thought there was a need for a thread like this pulling together the various resources and gaps on Stockopedia in the mining sector - it's partly inspired by this thread on TMF which I thought was very interesting in pulling together different ideas in the sector. In general, I would say Stockopedia is very rich when it comes to stock-specific discussion, but perhaps not…

Surely the intent was to suggest that Firestone is about to be promoted as "a commissioned military officer ranking next below a lieutenant colonel"...  :-)

If you go to the Energy Board (assuming that's your sector of interest) and then click "Hot Threads" up the top, that may help you find the most discussed stuff. 

I doubt it's a regular vs. non regular thing. I suspect people here would take more note if Harry explain his underlying reasoning in more depth, rather than short posts like the Prime Focus one which gives the reader relatively little to go on and form their own judgement. DYOR and all that. Compare this to thread headers by "regulars" such as DJP & Marben!…
