Amur Minerals – a couple of things are niggling me as shareholder action group established

You may remember that Amur Minerals (AMC) spent decades trying to develop a nickel mine in the far East of Russia, the sort of frozen wastelands that look like a good spot for the Mother-in-law’s annual holiday. In the end it sold that license for $ 35 million after shareholders rejected an offer of $105 million in staged payments. I am unclear about a couple of matters.

A failed fund manager turned blogger explians why the press is always wrong and he is still right to be bullish on UK PLC

No, not me silly, it's disgraced Neil Woodford again. Long, strong and wrong (with OPM) of UKPLC since Adam was a boy, Neil is still a bull and explains why everyone else is wrong, especially the BBC.

Johnson Service Group – a trading momentum and calmer costs environment BUY

Recently Johnson Service Group (JSG) issued an announcement including noting first quarter of the year organic revenue growth of 8.9% and that, although still volatile, energy costs have continued a general trend downwards. We suggest those bode well from a 149p offer price for the shares.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Do I want to catch the Alliance Pharma falling knife on sack Adam Reynolds day

The Euroloon is making me even more of a health crank. I discuss that and VE Day. Then it is Optibiotix (OPTI), why Adam Reynolds needs sacking at Probiotix (PBX), Wood Group (WG.) in depth Alliance Pharma (APH) and then the latest scandal at the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME)

Having seen its attempts to secure an oil exploration or production concession in Sudan blow up, joke company Wildcat Petroleum (WCAT) now says that, with all of a couple of hundred thousand quid in the bank, it is trying to get a gig in the republic of South Sudan. Yesterday came a laughable statement from the company but that needs to be put in a wider context.

Technically insolvent fraud Supply@ME Capital breaks FCA Rules yet again: does anybody care any more?

I rather fear that round at FCA Towers the answer to my question is NO! The regulator of the Standard List is great when it comes to issuing weighty tomes on the need for more lesbian visibility week events in fund management as diversity delivers outperformance (hint, it does not) but is crap at enforcing its own rules.
