Shameless David Lenigas: his second most ramptastic tweet in history

A couple of weeks ago the shameless penny dreadful promoter David Lenigas claimed that shares in the company he funded, Vinanz (BTC), were going "to infinity". Today's tweet on behalf of Red Rock Resources (RRR) where he is a paid consultant is only marginally less ramptastic. Could such claims really be signed of in an RNS?

Zenova – director “pivotal” in its products development leaves “with immediate effect”. Uh oh!…

Many thanks to a reader who draws my attention to a latest announcement from Zenova Group (ZED) which argues, with the shares then at around 2.2p, “Board Changes” with the group now at a “successful inflection point”. Er, is it though?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: this RedX news is a total disaster for the AIM Casino, preparing to meet Olaf's b/f after a year

In today's bearcast i start with looming birthday's and also getting to meet "The Trainspotter", Olaf's boyfriend after almost a year of being kept away from him. Any father's have any words of advice on what to say? Then I look at RedX Pharma (REDX), Belluscura (BELL), Superdry (SDRY), TekCapital (TEK), Argo BlockChain (ARB), Celadon Pharma (CEL) and its FemiNazi PR bird, Zephyr Energy (ZPHR) - watch out Reverend Weight - Horizonte Minerals (HZM), Revolution Bars (RBG) and Tectonic Gold (TTAU).

UK Oil & Gas annual report – the warning is explicit!

Perma dog UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) starts its annual report thus: "UK Oil & Gas Plc aims to build a sustainable oil and gas production base that can help deliver its new UK hydrogen storage business as part of the UK's transition to Net Zero and which will act as a springboard to further worldwide growth opportunities in the hydrogen space." I aim to shag Cheryl Cole in an environmentally friendly way. Like UK, my aim has been constant for 11 years. My delivery to date, pitiful. Today’s annual report is dire.

Itaconix – “unable to reach satisfactory commercial terms with one of its major existing merchandizing customers”. Uh oh!…

Describing itself as “a leading innovator in sustainable plant-based polymers used to decarbonize everyday consumer products”, Itaconix (ITX) has issued a “Trading Statement” announcement commencing that “following extensive negotiation, it has been unable to reach satisfactory commercial terms with one of its major existing merchandizing customers in North America for supply in 2024”, though emphasising that “enhancing our revenue structure and increasing gross profit margins, while impacting our near-term revenue streams, pave the way for our next stage of growth”. So what about this currently seeing the shares more than 25% lower to below 200p?

A checklist of share price doom from Evil Banksta as he prepares for a luxury break

Thanks to the chaps at Belluscura (BELL) Evil Banksta is able to enjoy another luxury break starting shortly. As he checks into his five star accommodation he will no doubt tip the staff generously and as they say “thank you sir” he will, as is wont, say “no, thank Adam Reynolds, he always pays for everything.” Before Liverpools’ greatest numbers man since Ken Dodd jets off, he leaves a checklist of doom, short positions where he sees an inevitable share price collapse with the reasons why:

Tom Winnifrith Bonus Bearcast: Why Steve and I cannot give investment advice on Bluebird Merchant today, a clear own goal

I am a shareholder and i was made an insider and am still an insider despite today's RNS which should never have been issued. So I cannot tell you to buy or to sell, we have no stance. I am angry and explain why.

Sondrel – argues requires “transformation” away from AIM listing… having listed less than 18 months ago!

Previously on semiconductor company Sondrel (SND), on 6th March I wrote “pleased to announce” convertible loan agreement, but only because the alternative was insolvency?, concluding with the shares at 10p still avoid/sell. What of now a “Further Convertible Loan and Amended Exclusivity Agreement” announcement from the company… and the shares slumping currently to 3.5p?!

Donald J. Trump offers a slam dunk short but also a long: here is the pair trade

I am deluged with emails from folks like Brian Basham suffering from acute #TrumpDerangementSyndrome asking why I am not commenting on the IPO via a SPAC reversal of his Trump Media & Technology Group (US:DJT). Well here goes with a pair trade

Belluscura: wrong, wrong, wrong – not 1 but 2 lack of profits warnings!

I am sorry for my pal Nigel Wray who is a big shareholder here but at every level this is wrong. The two (lack of) profits warnings not only raise very clear financial red flags and fears but, worse, they should prompt a full regulatory enquiry into the deception of investors in cash shell TMT prior to its acquisition. This is a shambles.

A reader says I am wrong to be bearish on two shares

I am, of course, bearish about stacks of shares but a reader who is no poltroon says that although myself and young Steve have called two stocks correctly as shorts to date, maybe it is time for a volte face. I am not going to do that just yet but for what it is worth the reader, who is polite so I do read his emails, states:

If you send me emails or private messages insulting & defaming me why do you expect a response?

99% of folks out there are not complete a’holes. But for the 1%: You insult me, you defame me you accuse me of all sorts of things in email or on private messages elsewhere. You accuse me of things which would land me in jail and which are patently untrue. You say I am useless and could not tip a waiter. And what do you expect me to do?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: An in depth deep dive into AI spoof CEL.AI ( Cellular Goods as was)

I start with a couple of April Fool's stories from this household and this website and then turn to the numerous scandals at CEL.AI (CLAI) which will make the FCA,PKF Littlejohn and those involved look very silly indeed.

Nightcap – will tube strikes be the straw that breaks the camels back, insolvency in Q2 suggests an insider

My source close to the action reckons that insolvency in the second quarter, perhaps as Nightcap struggles to meet both payroll and its quarterly rent payments at the end of June, is now more likely than ever. For Nightcap (NGHT), revolting underground workers could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

Exclusive: Cavendish Financial to list £50m LGBTQA+ investment company on AIM

The day after the Sunday when we were all ordered to celebrate Transgender Awareness Day, rather than silly old fashioned Easter, the commemoration of the resurrection of our saviour Jesus, Cavendish Financial has announced plans to list on AIM, Irons PLC, a £50 million investment company which will invest only in LGBTQA+ owned or managed businesses.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Calm down Nigel old boy, If $4000 does happen we are all fecked

Comrade Somerville is getting a bit excited about gold today. I discuss this and various gold stocks before heading out to plant some peas in a garden which looks increasingly impressive.

The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Powers Further Ahead

Gold closed the week at $2,233 – a new daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly all-time high, and well up on last week’s $2,165. Moreover, this was the second consecutive quarterly all-time high. Whilst I have no crystal ball, the chart of Gold vs the mining ETFs GDX (majors), GDXJ (juniors) and GOEX (explorers) suggests that things are finally turning my way.

The share price of Johnson Matthey (JMAT) has been in the doldrums for some time now, and although it has improved a bit from the lows it saw around the release of its last set of financials, it is still suffering from the impact of low platinum group metal prices.
