Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: More folks I'd jail over Neil Woodford, the SUPP gang & scumbag Paul Griffiths of Predator on the ramp
I start with NatWest closing down a bank branch (quite rightly) and what the fuss made by MPs etc says about the doomed UK. Then I look at Predator (PRD) and others ramping for survival, a chance for bears not bulls. Finally a long look at Schroder UK Public Private Trust (SUPP), formerly WPCT, past present and future.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Video: The U.S. and Europe are in a Terminal State of Decline
Global forecaster and author David Murrin says that the road to war is peppered with polarization. Murrin explains that the human strategy for survival is through social structures, and that wars between a weaker system and a rising system are necessary to create a better outcome. He also explains that war is regulated by the Kondratiev cycle which takes place every 56 years.- By Tom Winnifrith |

The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Pauses For Breath
It has been a one-way ticket northwards for Gold since bottoming out in late September and October around $1625 an ounce, as can be seen on the Gold chart (courtesy of www.kitco.com) below. Last week it had reached $1926 and pushed on up this week to peak a smidgeon below $1950 before pausing for breath, sliding to below $1920 (very briefly) before closing at $1928 – up another two dollars on the week.- By Nigel Somerville |

Goodbye Bears, Hello Bulls as the Footsie Breaks Out of the Share Zoo's Confines.
Hello Share Scrapers. This old punter is now moving cash from his interest-paying building society to my several brokers. The idea is to be absolutely ready to move from currently 90% cash back into shares. At present, the Footsie is stagnant, but recent trends lead me to believe that the trek north will gather steam. In other words, I’m returning to my natural state of bullishness.- By Malcolm Stacey |

Tern – Is There More Bad News On The Way?
AIM-listed jam-tomorrow Internet of things investor Tern plc (TERN) shares are falling again, today by a modest 0.25p to 7.75p, but I fear it could become an avalanche if the word on the street proves in any way correct. So much for the ramptastic Portfolio Update RNS the other day which pushed the shares north: they are now lower than they were before the announcement!- By Nigel Somerville, The Deputy Sheriff of AIM |

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: The rise and fall of Chesterfield Resources - surely it is now bust?
I start with a few thoughts on Holocaust Memorial Day then a few on Warwick School business which I attended to yesterday. Then it is onto Chesterfield Resources (CHF) where THIS BEARCAST warning of the joke Pacton deal now looks to be very much on the money. I suggest it is bust. Then it is onto Cellular Goods (CBX) and Versarien (VRS).- By Tom Winnifrith |

Superdry – interims argue that the “brand has real momentum”. Er, does it?!
Previously writing on branded clothing, accessories and footwear company Superdry (SDRY), a year ago with the shares down to around 230p I questioned its argued “clear signs of brand and financial recovery” and continued to avoid – considering you’d really have to be a firm believer in returned CEO Julian Dunkerton’s recovery plans to buy at that juncture. With the shares having last closed at 149.2p, what of now results for the company’s half-year ended 29th October 2022 and trading since?

More than shopping on offer at Sainsbury's?
As I noted earlier in the month, J Sainsbury (SBRY) had an alright Christmas (aided by the purchase of a few seasonal specials by myself). Though, whilst I may be a regular customer, I do not own any shares in the name. But, judging by today’s news, is that a potential takeover mistake?

Revealed:Lucian Miers’s UK shorts, big and small – 1 a zero by end February
Yesterday, as I am in the grim North, I met up for a quick pint with Lucian Miers at a boozer which had the most abominable customer service I have encountered in years. Hell’s teeth they made Darren Atwater’s approach to customer service and that of the entire French population, seem Nobel prize winning. I digress. After discussing historic abuse at public schools we moved on to Ukraine and then to Lucian’s portfolio of shorts.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Advanced Oncotherapy – is the funding farce about to end, prompting a share price collapse? This company could well go bust!
Each month, Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO) needs between £1 million and £2 million to keep the lights on. And to date, each month Odey Asset Management has been writing a cheque, buying shares at 25p (par value) to keep the show on the road.

Versarien: ignore today’s piffle it is delayed results that should panic holders
Company in crisis Versarien (VRS) has today issued an RNS Reach about it getting an eco passport for a product nobody wants to buy. An RNS Reach is one that the nomad deems “not financial significant.” And for the fraudsters’ fave Nomad SP Angel to make that ruling means this news must be almost irrelevant. The key issue is results. Or lack of them.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

Zytronic – now a recovery Buy?
In August we downgraded our stance on touch sensors company Zytronic (ZYT) to sell with the shares at 135p as we noted the short-term outlook looked challenged. Despite the recent somewhat stock market recovery, that has proven sensible as the shares are now at an offer price of...135p. That is though a recovery from 112.5p at the start of October and there now looks reason to believe that the recovery has a good deal further to go.- By HotStockRockets |
