We've Been Expecting You (to Rise) Mr Bond

Hello Share Dancers. Recently, this old punter has advised against buying most shares. I’m still in cash, but I’m seriously considering dipping my toe back in. But only in a few selected areas. Here’s where I believe sensible investments might be made now.
CMH

Chamberlin – “Corporate Update”, attempted ramptastic?

Castings and engineering company Chamberlin (CMH) has issued a “Corporate Update” including emphasising “Russell Ductile Castings returns best ever monthly performance, exceeding £1 million monthly revenue for the first time, in November 2022. Investment in new plant and equipment at RDC now complete” and “Group defined benefit pension scheme now in a surplus position”. Sounds good, so what of a currently up to 3.95p share price?
BOWL

Hollywood Bowl – emphasises “excellent” full-year, can it continue the progress?

The UK's largest ten-pin bowling operator Hollywood Bowl (BOWL) has announced results for its year ended 30th September 2022 emphasising “delighted with our excellent performance and record revenue” and “a strong start to the new financial year”. So what of a current up to 237p share price?

BREAKING - GOTCHA! Dev Clever - A £250 million UK tech blow up: delisting, lies and looks to be bankrupt

I have always warned folks about this company, even before its shares were suspended at 30p last Christmas Eve, giving it a £250 milllion market cap. Others ramped away or took vast fees (bucket shop adviser Novum and PR Chris Lane at Buchanan) step forward. But this was always a failing business drowning in red flags. Today it 'fessed. Well sort of. It also lied.
ASLR

What do you reckon Cliff Weight, is Asimilar the most blatant insider dealing of the year?

The last stated NAV of Asimilar (ASLR ) was 25p per share. We knew it had taken one hit (AAA) but still the NAV should have been c20p (ho ho ho). On Wednesday its shares plunged by 32% to sub 4p begging me to ask this question.

Tintra – curious funding news, this stinks

In the current nuclear winter for small cap stock Richard Shearer is proving to be the man to watch as today Tintra (TNT) issued two announcements revealing the raising of significant additional cash to finance the artificial intelligence led banking operation that he is building.

A boring mid-December FTSE 350 Friday? Not at all!

The good news for all readers is that I am not going to talk about the Bank of England, as we all expected an interest rate rise yesterday. As with most matters in the investment world, what matters a lot more is what happens tomorrow rather than what is happening today (or happened yesterday). And on that basis, some interesting updates this morning from Rio Tinto (RIO)BT Group (BT.A) and Games Workshop (GAW).

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: The macro market and real economy take and Skinbiotherapeutics

Recorded last night in Greece I am now on my way, I hope, back to Wales. I start with the real economy, wider stock market and small cap forecasting. That does have a bearing on the Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) placing which I also discuss in detail.

DX Group – AGM trading statement, after corporate governance shambles now in a strong position?

Parcel freight, secure courier and logistics services group DX (DX.) has issued an AGM update including that “trading to date remains in line, and that the pipeline of new business opportunities continues to be very healthy. The group remains in a strong financial position”. So what of a current share price response up to 27p?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: falling out with three old friends edition

Maybe I have fallen out with these folks already: Colin Bird, Richard Poulden and Andrew Bell. But after this podcast I sure will have done so. I own shares in two companies mentioned. It is my intent to cut my losses when back at my desk in Wales next week and to reinvest the little cash that comes in, in a boring gold play with a dividend which will not be passing the begging bowl around numerous times next year. I think probably I shall buy a few more Ariana (AAU). The three companies that I slate today are Red Rock Resources (RRR), Tiger Royalties (TIR) and Wishbone Gold (WSBN)
ACT

Actual Experience – argues “now in a strong position to capitalise on the significant market opportunity”. Really?

Analytics technology company Actual Experience (ACT) states that it “is pleased to announce an update on trading for the financial year ended 30 September 2022, as well as recent progress regarding important commercial initiatives”. So what of a share price currently remaining around 1.5p?
CURY
premium content

Currys inevitably has a few worries, but…

As I said five months ago, “Currys (CURY) is not AO World (AO.) (thankfully)” but, judging by its interim results today, the former still has a few worries to deal with.

CAR

Carclo – profit warning and banking covenants ‘discussions’ (as warned here)

Previously writing on company describing itself as “a global provider of value-adding engineered solutions for the medical, optical and aerospace industries”, Carclo (CAR) last week with the shares down to 13p I noted it stating it “evaluating the financial impact and taking mitigating actions” following a contract cancellation, but how many mitigating actions can it take?!. Now a further “trading update”.

VAST

Vast Resources is very rapidly approaching the trapdoor of death

20 months ago with its shares approaching 0.1p par Vast Resources (VAST) did a 100-1 share consolidation, telling its credulous shareholders that this was to help it pay a dividend. No sniggering at the back please. A series of fund raises and ongoing operational failure later, the shares are now 0.17p-0.19p. That is a major issue as Vast is again almost out of cash. This time that could be fatal. We are in a nuclear winter for small caps.

The actual rap sheet from the $100m US twitter and discord pump and dump fraud

A wise man suggests that I should not publish the details below of the alleged $100 million social media shares fraud as it might give certain folks in Airstrip One a few ideas of how they can up their game. But I do so anyway. Can you think of a podcast host who invites on private investors posing as BSD traders to pump their stocks with daft price targets. Who checks on whether the host or guests trade into the spikes? As for twitter pumpers...don't get me started. Anyhow enjoy what is below, and if you have comments about UK citizens engaging in similar practices post away and I will approve.

Asimilar – so what is the reason your shares are imploding? I offer three scenarios

Yesterday shares in Asimilar (ASLR) plunged 32% to sub 4p. The last stated NAV was – at March 31 – 25.3p so why the plunge. There are three scenarios.
