Supply shares crash to new all time low: how is that alternative funding going?

Oh for the days when brown envelope man Zak Mir was ramping this worthless fraud for all he was worth. Today shares in Supply@ME Capital (SYME) have slumped to just 0.028p but that still values this worthless crock at £17 million. Now I remind you what the company said via RNS on December 2023:

More meaningless and dishonest piffle from World Chess as it stumbles towards its June cash crisis

With its shares at 2p to sell, last month World Chess announced that it was raising 816,000 Euro in five monthly tranches at 5.97p. If that did not set the alarm bells ringing nothing would. Even with that cash, this cash guzzler will be running on vapours by June so more ramping is needed. Today’s RNS crafted by the journalist smearing scumbags at Yellow Jersey PR is just dishonest. World Chess wants to update us on “strategic developments.”

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Following ouzo man, Lucky Luke Johnson and telling Steve O'Hara to sack his PR gophers

In today's Bearcast I look at Avacta (AVCT), where ouzo man joins the bear's picnic, Regtech Open (RTOP), Hydrogen Utopia (HUI) and a tough google search, UK Oil & Gas (UKOG), Optibiotix (OPTI), Tortilla Mexican (MEX) and Lucky Luke and Chill Brands (CHLL) where i reinstate a target price of 0p.

Brickability Group – “Resilient performance; further progress on strategic objectives”… Or not?

Describing itself as “a leading construction materials distributor, serving customers across the UK and Europe”, Brickability Group (BRCK) has issued a “Trading Update” headlined “Resilient performance; further progress on strategic objectives”. What then of the shares currently falling below 70p, more than 10% lower, in response?

Evil Banksta reminds us all why Petrofac is a very shortable near slam dunk zero

Liverpool’s greatest numbers man since Ken Dodd gave a presentation last week where he reminded folks why Petrofac (PFC) is a zero. At 28p the market cap is £144million and it is eminently shortable.

RegTech Open Project: gone bust yet? When will the FCA suspend the shares?

Floated at 100p last August, shares in Regtech Open Project (RTOP) are just 3.66p, a new all-time low. That the prospectus was grossly misleading is beyond doubt. It claimed that Alessandro Zamboni’s AvantGarde was selling almost £18 million of shares to 12 lucky punters. But AvantGarde, like Regtech, appears to be insolvent, owing cash all over the place including to Regtech. Did any of the 12 punters actually pay up back in August? Why hasn’t the FCA suspended Regtech shares pending clarification?

Sondrel – “New Contract Win and Corporate Update”… now it’s cash crunch in just a couple of days!

“New Contract Win and Corporate Update”-titled announcement today from Sondrel (SND), which describes itself as “a leading provider of ultra-complex chips for leading global technology brands”. It emphasises the contract win has “a total estimated value of US$23 million”, so very good news from a prior below £10 million market capitalisation with the shares just above 11p?

My Advent share tip already vindicated but Pensana is still a buy

The week before Christmas I tipped Pensana (PRE) at 25p. I said the shares were “a steal”. They are now 34p after news yesterday and are still a steal!

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.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Yes no change on Avacta, it's still a stonking short on 2 counts

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?

Tom Winnifrith Bonus Bearcast: Buy, sell or hold Kefi Gold & Copper at 0.85p

The title is self explanatory, this podcast is nearly all about Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI). I also mention Ariana Resources (AAU) and Amaroq (AMRQ)

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.
