... because judging by the number of Hotcopper members (see below) who have disclosed 'Stock Held' since November 2007, any alternative is impossible to contemplate.

If Cityview turn out to be no more than a bunch of spivs sitting in London, printing half a billion shares and unloading them on unsuspecting newbies on the back of increasingly improbable announcements, this will go down as a sting of Nigerian proportions.

I was surprised to see posters such as Case-217 and Case-448 on the list. They should know better.
Apologies to those who appear on the list due to inadvertently declaring 'Stock Held' when they did not.
