Tingo: now Dozy blames the others in Nigerian video interview

The blame game is afoot at the Tingo (TIO) fraud, first exposed by myself at Sharestock in September 2022. I discussed on Sunday how the Mail on Sunday hatchet job on Dozy Mmobousi had all the hallmarks of Chris Cleverly throwing him under the bus, blaming him for everything. I now see that Chris also managed to get the Sunday Times to run a piece exonerating him. How bent is the deadwood press that it does not check his historic record of fraud and just takes him at his word? Meanwhile Dozy has recorded the interview below in Nigeria and he has a different view.

In today's podcast I discuss Guild ESports (GI:LD) and regulatory failure and in the same vein Deepverge (DVRG) and the fraud Supply@ME Capital (FRAUD), Hydrogen Utopia (HUI), Invinity Energy (IES), Sosandar (SOS) and Avacta (AVCT)

IQ-AI – is “pleased to announce the result of the Broker Option” fooling itself or trying to fool everyone else?

‘Imaging platforms and therapeutics’ company IQ-AI (IQAI) states that it “is pleased to announce the result of the Broker Option that was announced on 22 February 2024 alongside a £300,000 placing”. That announcement included that the broker option was to “raise up to a further £100,000… The company and Peterhouse at their discretion may decide to increase the amount of the Broker Option to meet demand”. So what’s the now “pleased to announce” result?

Show Me The Money: Guild Esports, is the bailout placing underway or the FCA taking action, nobody gives a FF that you’ve signed Charyy

You don’t know who Charyy is? Cripes where have you been living? Get with it dinosaurs. Charyy is “a top-ranked professional player” in the world of esports (playing games on a computer) with earnings of $58,100 in prize money from 26 tournaments in the past year. Wow that is almost as much as my local Co-Op generates each month. Anyhow Charyy has signed with Guild Esports (GILD) and its shares are tanking.

EnSilica – interims argue ‘supportive’ strong new order momentum, but what about balance sheet support?

Describing itself as “a leading chip maker of mixed-signal Application Specific Integrated Circuits”, EnSilica (ENSI) states that it “is pleased to announce its unaudited results for the six months ended 30 November 2023” and headlines them with “Strong new order momentum supports growing order book and new business pipeline”. So what of a current approaching 30% higher share price response to around 65p?

Video: Warning of Wealth Risks in a World of Financial Jenga, buy gold but sell bitcoin

Bullion dealer Egon von Greyerz of Von Greyerz Gold Switzerland is talking his own book but is one of those folks who is so bearish about the world you almost want to give up. He is concerned about the current state of the global economy, noting mounting national debts and potential for war as the two primary factors adding to the world’s chaos.

Made Tech – interims, how much ‘bullshit earnings’ was the previously-stated EBITDA?…

Previously on Made Tech Group (MTEC), which describes itself as “a leading provider of digital, data, and technology services to the UK public sector”, at the start of this month I wrote ‘arguing “a credible EBITDA performance”, is CEO Rory MacDonald fooling himself or trying to fool everyone else?’. So what of the today-announced results for its half year ended 30th November 2023?

Three months is too long to take the piss: another letter to AIM Regulation about musicMagpie

It is now more than three months since musicMagpie (MMAG) declared that it is an offer period. The initial bidders, solicited by Magpie, both walked within days appalled at what they found. The whole industry know that trading is weak and Magpie’s banks are shitting bricks yet Magpie keeps up the pretence. I have again written to the Oxymorons, how long will they allow Magpie to tale the piss?

Ananda Developments – surely this valuation is laughable as is the balance sheet?

Today we have a quarterly trading statement from Aquis listed Ananda Developments (ANA), a £9.35 million capitalized pot company. Ananda, I kid you not, does not have a bank account and its balance sheet is surely a complete rum ‘n’ coke. With almost no cash, this is an accident waiting to happen.

EnQuest is reducing debt steadily and is considering a return to dividends - BUY

Despite the threat that a Labour government poses to the UK oil and gas industry, I still see opportunities for producers in this sector to perform well, and I particularly think that EnQuest (ENQ) is worth a look. Here's why!

The View From The Montana Log Cabin: The Big Gold Yawn Continues And Ariana
