Having a think about markets whilst having my now and again coffee at Dunelm

I have become a bit of a fan over the last year or so of Dunelm (DNLM). Sadly - despite my alleged investment knowledge and capability - I failed to buy the shares a year or so ago and hence missed out on an approximately 30% share price rise (and a 3.5% odd dividend yield), but I have at least learnt that the company offers an excellent coffee shop location.

The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Tries To Push Higher

Gold closed the week at $1961 – up $7 on last week’s $1954, but after having peaked at over $1980 before slipping back a little. Will it have another go at getting back over $2,000 imminently? Who knows?! But from where I sit, the pressure seems to be building.

MediaZest Trading Statement – All That Is Wrong With AIM!

AIM-listed MediaZest (MDZ) offered up a trading update on Wednesday. It was, of course, full of good things – or, at least, good things for the unsuspicious – but there was an obvious lack of anything which I would be looking for, such as cash levels or indications of profitability – or lack thereof. It was all that is wrong with AIM.

XPS Pensions – disposal and “strategic partnership” agreement further boosts shares, but still further upside

Pension consulting and administration group XPS Pensions (XPS) has announced an agreement to sell principal employer and scheme funder of the National Pensions Trust, XPS Pensions (Nexus) Limited, to SEI and for a strategic partnership between the organisations. What’s the detail and what of a current share price response up further to around 190p?

Billington Holdings – likely upcoming trading catalysts to see the shares regain previous highs?...

A most recent, 6th June, announcement from structural steel and construction safety company Billington Holdings (BILN) included that “2023 has started positively… we have a robust business with significant momentum”. However, the shares, having reached above 450p in April, have since fallen back to a 330p offer price. We believe that there are the likely upcoming trading catalysts to see the shares regain those previous highs again.

D4t4 Solutions – full-year results, an “improved go-to market approach beginning to deliver”?

Behavioural data technology company D4t4 Solutions (D4T4) has announced results for its year ended 31st March 2023 headlined “Significant ARR growth, improved go-to market approach beginning to deliver”. What of this and a current higher share price response?

DP Poland – “delighted to announce record sales”, but what about inflation and the cash burn?

Previously writing on company with the exclusive rights for Domino's Pizza in Poland and Croatia DP Poland (DPP), last year with the shares just above 6p I concluded new management look to offer hope but the current financials still don’t look good. What’s the situation now, with a trading update for the first half of 2023?

Thruvision – full-year results argue a “breakthrough year”. Er, what about the still forecast current year loss?

Describing itself as a “leading provider of walk-through security technology”, Thruvision Group (THRU) has announced results for its year ended 31st March 2023 emphasising a “breakthrough year, which saw revenues jump by 49%… to £12.4 million” and “a robust base from which we can profitably grow the group”. So what of a current over 6.5% lower share price response to 28.5p?

Argo Blockchain – can anyone explain the price of its 2026 bonds?

These bonds were issued with an 8.75% coupon at $25 and are due to be redeemed in full in just three years. They are either extraordinarily cheap or the equity is extraordinarily overpriced even after its sub-scale fund raise this week. Let me explain.

Tharisa – Q3 update, still a cash-generating value Buy

PGMs and chrome producer from South Africa, Tharisa (THS) has issued an update on the third quarter to end-June of its year, with 'highlights' including “PGM output increased to 37.0 koz (Q2 FY2023: 34.3 koz) with yield maintained and recoveries improving” and “Karo Platinum Project remains on track with major milestones of first concrete pour and pilot mining commenced” currently helping the shares up by more than 7% to 75p. But we consider there is much further upside potential here.

Premier African takes a related party loan from boss George CockRoach who will not risk a cent

Premier African Minerals (PREM) is running on vapours and facing legal action that could well blow it up and as such nobody will give it cash to pay the bills. And so it has no choice but to agree to an "unusual" loan from CEO George (Cock) Roach which will see him risk not a cent? Confused?
