How Asia's tigers have taken a chunk out of Aim

Article Abstract:

The United Kingdom Alternative Investment Market (Aim) has been affected by the economic problems of Asia, though most Aim companies are too small to be exposed to Far Eastern markets. Those companies such as Mulberry which do sell in Asian markets have been affected. Aim companies have also been affected by the strength of pound sterling in relation to Asian currencies, which has meant that imports from Asia are cheaper, and can compete more effectively against UK products. Some Aim companies are performing well in Asia, but investors should be cautious.

How hot tips turn into lame ducks

Article Abstract:

A number of companies have performed poorly on the UK Alternative Investment Market (Aim) which involves high risks as well as a possibility of a high profit. Aim companies are delisted if they do not have both a broker and nominated adviser and this has affected four companies. Investors should assess the feasibility of profit projections, the impact on companies of a downturn in the market, the preparedness of the market for some new-technology products, and the size and composition of the board of directors.
