Previously writing on Brighton Palace pier, Lightwater Valley adventure park, mini-golf and bars business Brighton Pier Group (PIER) in September I noted strong full-year results, but economic pressures now to bite?. So what of a latest trading statement?

Is Rachel Reeves the most economically illiterate politician in Britain?
The shadow chancellor does not seem to appreciate that she can only tax the profits of oil companies on their UK earnings and North Sea Operators already pay 75% tax. As the tweet below somehow she seems to think that adding to that tax will both cure inflation and slash fuel prices. I realise that there are many truly economically illiterate MPs, but this one could be Chancellor of the Exchequer by the end of next year.- By Tom Winnifrith |

I'm not a fan of Helium One, but for those who want to buy for the next drill I'd expect an opportunity at a lower price in the coming months
It’s been over a year since I last took a look at Helium One (HE1), and during that time the shares have more than halved from the level where I flagged it as a company to avoid.- By Gary Newman |

Gattaca – “trading statement”, how ‘well placed’ is it proving to be?
“Specialist STEM staffing” company Gattaca (GATC) has issued a trading statement emphasising half-year “NFI expected to be £22.7m (H1 22: £21.6m)… expects to report statutory net cash at 31 January 2023 of £21m (31 July 2022: net cash of £12m)” and “the shortage of candidates plays to our key strength of deep knowledge and understanding of our sectors and niche skills”.

Corero CEO Lionel Chmilewsky is “resigned” – ahead of funding crisis what will his total 2022 screw and payoff be?
On 17th January, as Corero (CNS) buried yet another dire warning in a bullshit trading statement, I pondered what CEO Lionel Chmilewsky would be earning as his total screw for 2022. Today we are told that this fat cat value destroyer has “resigned to pursue other opportunities.” In truth he “was resigned”.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Sondrel – argues a “pleased to provide” update on trading and key milestones, so why the share price fall?
Describing itself as a “fabless semiconductor business providing turnkey services in the design and delivery of 'application specific integrated circuits' and 'system on chips' for leading global technology brands”, Sondrel (SND) states that it “is pleased to provide an update on trading for the financial year ended 31 December 2022, and key milestones achieved since the group's IPO in October 2022”. So why are the shares currently 10% lower at 54.5p in response, and now below the IPO price?- By Steve Moore |

How much do you like being “nudged” by Hargreaves Lansdown?
As an investor, you have to accept that you will get some calls right and some calls wrong. I am glad that thirteen months ago, I exited my shares in Barclays (BARC) at north of two quid (as its latest set of numbers have not been taken well this morning). By contrast, I should have been braver and bought Dunelm (DNLM) after visiting its stores a few times over the last six months. What do I think then of Hargreaves Lansdown (HL.) shares after its latest set of numbers earlier today?

The Wheels on this Bus Go Round and Round and Up and Up could Go the Share Price
Hello Share Crazies. Share shifters like us might consider going on the bus – National Express (NEX) shares have taken a bit of knock and are now cheap in my humble view. Just look at the mess the railways are in, then consider how this helps bus travel seem more attractive. And rail fares here also seem pretty high.- By Malcolm Stacey |

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - looking very grim for Kanabo, it is what it does not say today
In today's podcast I remind you to get something in for the special person or people (it is 2023) in your life. I look at Brian Basham's green spoof Net Zero Infrastructure (NZI), BlueJay Mining (JAY), Afentra (AET) and free speech on this site, 8000 for the Footsie and our obsession with round numbers, Okyo Pharma (OKYO) - spoofing on vapours - and Kanabo (KNB)- By Tom Winnifrith |

Strip Tinning – having only listed a year ago, what of a latest share price fall?
Previously writing on company describing itself as “a leading supplier of specialist connection systems to the automotive sector” Strip Tinning (STG), in September with the shares rising to 75p I noted negative occurrences despite it only having listed that February and continued to avoid. The shares last closed at 65p and what of them now at 55p on the back of a “Pre-Close Trading Update”?

Why I'm happy to remain invested in Afentra despite some questions over its largest shareholders
From some of the comments I saw on social media, many seemed to be surprised that Tom Winnifrith covered Afentra (AET) here in a negative way last week, given that it’s a company that I’m invested in and have covered on this site several times, including as one of my buy tips for 2023.- By Gary Newman |

Coca Cola HBC is much more than Greek to me
There were three countries that caused me transitory challenges during my years as an institutional investor. As I told “senior management” types about political issues in both Mali and Italy, you have to be greedy when others are fearful. I admit that even I was cacking it a bit, but it worked out rather well. However, when the compliance officer asked if I was sure I could hold a Greek stock in the fund, I wondered if I had made a bit of an error. Fortunately, being a member of the European Union has at least one advantage.- By Chris Bailey |

The FCA just does not get it: a £72.9m fine that is nothing of the sort for Amigo

Versarien prize contest – guess the amount of red ink when results eventually arrive
I realise that I have yet to post the olive oil for to the winner of the readers tips of the year contest. Fear not I shall. But the prize in this contest is a small jar of my home grown and picked radishes. This competition is brought to you thanks to Versarien (VRS) a favourite company of this website whose shares are worth 0p and which is run by a loathsome bully and disgraced ramper Neill Ricketts. To the contest…- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

Gfinity – hopefully my prior warnings were heeded as here’s the (significantly discounted, natch) bailout equity raise
Last week I noted on company which describes itself as “a world leading esports solutions provider” Gfinity (GFIN) that ‘I was correct to be very wary of previously-stated commercial agreement ‘delight’... now bailout equity raise discussions’ as the shares fell to 0.25p. Now the company “is pleased to announce that it has conditionally raised £2 million (before expenses) in an upsized placing and subscription”. Good news then?- By Steve Moore |

BlueJay Mining wants to deceive you - $6 million death spiral
