City File: Spring Ram backers go out on a limb
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.HAVE Derek Reed and Kevin Carmack of Smith New Court taken leave of their senses? With Spring Ram's accounts to be published tomorrow, they have bravely published a circular on the troubled bathroom and kitchens group which says the shares are a long-term buy.
They may be right. The company is close to appointing a new finance director, and says it 'bloody well hopes' the City finds no further surprises in the accounts. Then again, they may not be. They say investors should ignore the 'spate of unpleasant rumours spread by the tabloid press'. Many of the rumours, however, have turned out to be true. Accordingly, the shares should be avoided.
