The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Holds The Line……Yawn!
The yellow stuff is still going nowhere fast. This week saw a dip below $2,000 and then a recovery to close at $2,013: a good test of $2,000 but ultimately Gold remains wedged between $2,000 and $2,080 – the big yawn continues.- By Nigel Somerville |

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: making Bara Brith, death threat for the Lemming & I really warm to buying high yield insurers and banks
I start with the Bara Brith, explaining what it is that Joshua and I have made and why. Photos tomorrow. Then it is onto insurers lie Legal & General (LGEN) as well as banks like NatWest (NWG) and, citing a real expert, I explain why I am increasingly tempted. Then it is onto the death threat for the Lemming Investor. It is to do with Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) and the perp is almost certainly one of those emboldened by Giles Balleny at Cavendish (CAV) who should now be truly ashamed for that. It makes me consider what Britain is becoming and how, if my circumstances were different, I'd be emigrating and will encourage all my kids to do just that.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Ricardo plc – a value Buy following trading update?...
Shares in environmental and engineering consulting company Ricardo plc (RCDO) commenced 2024 by rising back towards 500p having exceeded 600p in the prior year.

John Lewis Staff magazine shocker: imagine working in this woke gulag
Due to its serial failures under Dame Sharon White, c11,000 employees (partners) at John Lewis will be getting their P45s over the next couple of years. At least they will miss the torture of the inhouse staff magazine "Identity," a 32 page publication celebrating LGBTQ history month sent to all 70,000 (current) staff. I bring you a competition from this publication and you will be horrified.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Dialight – reckons after 10 years as a director of the company, CEO and board both decided on the same day that the CEO would leave!
Considering itself a “global leader in sustainable LED lighting for industrial applications”, Dialight (DIA) has announced a CEO change with non-executive director Steve Blair to now become CEO as “by mutual agreement with the board, Fariyal Khanbabi has decided to step down as Chief Executive Officer and as a director of the company with immediate effect”. So the board and Fariyal both just decided, after 10 years as a board director, on the same day that Fariyal would leave did they?!- By Steve Moore |

BREAKING: UK Oil & Gas, Oh Dear, Oh Dear – the shareholders are revolting, 0p here we come!
Earlier today I pondered at what price UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) could get away the bailout placing it needs as it is running on vapours as its shareholders voted on a share consolidation. But, as Mike Walters would have said as another of his share tips (did he tip this POS, it is right up his street?) went tits up, oh dear, oh dear.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

Microsalt: wonder IPO or ludicrous price?
Microsalt (SALT) tried to raise £10-15 million ahead of an IPO last October but for some unexplained reason, Nomad Zeus postponed the IPO. On 1 February it joined the AIM sewer after raising £3.15 million gross (£2.5 million net) at 43p giving an £18.5 million valuation. Today, after announcing what it termed a “vital” deal earlier this week, the shares are 112.5p so valuing it at just over £48 million. Really?- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

XP Power – from “expect that market conditions will improve as the year progresses” to “significantly below market expectations” in just 5 weeks!
An 11th January trading update from XP Power (XPP) which, not-modestly, describes itself as “one of the world's leading developers and manufacturers of critical power control solutions for the Industrial Technology, Healthcare and Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment sectors”, stated that the company continued to expect 2024 “market conditions will improve as the year progresses… our performance will be supported by the actions taken to reduce our cost base and we will continue to respond decisively to market conditions as they evolve.

UK Oil & Gas – as we await share consolidation what price the next bailout placing? And where does this leave Dave Lenigas and Pennpetro?
I write as UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) holds aa GM to approve a share consolidation. Like so many penny dreadfuls its shares have collapsed below par value of just 0.01p and it must therefore undertake a capital reorganization slashing par to just 0.0001p to allow it to issue even more worthless confetti. And boy does it need to issue shares.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Letter to the FCA: What is stopping you forcing a statement from the Supply@ME Capital fraud?
Following the collapse in the share price of sister company Dispensa (DISP) following advisor auditor resignations and plans for a delisting, surely even the woke dullards at the FCA must be getting worried about Supply@ME Capital (SYME), another joke admission to the Standard list thanks to the incompetence of er…..the FCA.
