Early this year we showed the top shorted London-listed shares at the start of 2021. How’s the performance (those in bold remain from 2020) as at the end of a month which saw the emergence of the Reddit short-attacking plotters?…

I start by flagging up that I aim to publish an 85 page dossier, m an opus magnus, on the sort of company Zak Mir promotes at 8.30 AM tomorrow behind the paywall. I see it as a zero. Then I discuss why Zak is, contrary to some suggestions here otherwise, a total and utter genius who did not kill Maddie and then look at his analysis of Jubilee Metals (JLP). I move on to why I’ve bought more shares in AEX Gold (AEXG) before looking at the nest of snakes at Dev Clever (DEV), its bonkers valuation and why it must collapse. I reference this excellent expose of that nest of snakes. I look at investor grief and what is happening at Supply@ME Capital (SYME) and what will happen – and when – at Dev.

As I write, the price of Gold seems to be going nowhere: it has been hanging around $1850 per ounce pretty much for the whole of January and is still there (more-or-less) now. Silver, on the other hand, has been all over the place. One might have therefore assumed that fully-listed Golden Prospect (GPM) – as a gold mining investor – would have been a very quiet place to be. But it hasn’t been.

Which one of the seven stages of grief is “denial?” If you want to see it on display, I bring you some tweets below from moronic shareholders in the con that is Supply@ME Capital (SYME). For folks like this facts do not matter but the facts of what is happening are very clear, starting at 7 AM last Friday morning.

Are you a fan of Moonpig (MOON)?  I guess you have seen the company do a TV advert to try to get you to buy for somebody’s birthday one of its cards.  Personally I have never used it as unsurprisingly I do not care that ‘It’s Even Easier on the AppMoonpig on the go, anytime, anywhere!’ but clearly some people do.  Anyhow earlier today the list price was 350p for a value of £1.2 billion…and as i write the share price is over 430p.  Hello the 22% day one move!

Creightons (CRL) has announced that a possible offer approach last week to Innovaderma (IDP) has been “unequivocally rejected… without affording Creightons the benefit of any further discussion” but that it continues to have a serious interest in a deal and now makes an announcement “in order that the shareholders of Innovaderma are directly aware of Creightons’ interest”. With shares in Creightons currently down 2% to 64.5p and in Innovaderma up 14% to 48.5p, what’s the detail?…

On December 17 Bidstack PLC (BIDS) and its Nomad Stifel Europe, fully cogniscent of the likely outcome for calendar 2020, issued a trading statement which I believe, in light of a confessional and disastrous statement on February 1 2021 was a clear breach of AIM Rule 10. I have written to AIM Regulation demanding an urgent enquiry and that sanctions be taken if appropriate.

KEFI Gold & Copper (KEFI) has produced a drilling update on its 34%-owned and operated Hawiah project in Saudi Arabia, emphasising significant intercept returns despite the programme seeking to ‘stretch’ some of the extremities of the deposit…

Good News! There has been a ‘special dividend’ announcement from gold, copper and silver producer in Azerbaijan Anglo Asian Mining (AAZ), with it noting that it has delivered expected strong cash generation. So what’s the detail?…

Hello Share Takers. Normally, I avoid mining stocks, leaving that difficult area of expertise to my brilliant colleague Gary Newman. But I do hold shares in silver and gold miner Fresnillo (FRES). This is one of the biggest miners and commodity merchants on the planet. Now the price of gold has been disappointing lately, especially as the covid crisis was expected to send it further higher, but silver soaring has sent Fresnillo shares up by 20% as I write…

This is Nigel Somerville’s phrase. I should stress that the two don’t mix but it will be used by Supply@ME Capital (SYME) owning morons as evidence that I am a drunk. Hmmmmmmmm on about 2 units a week, methinks not.  I discuss the Supply fraud and what the company’s, honourable and truthful, PR man is telling the morons. And what they should take from it. I look at the silver spike and advise you what Lucian has done in response. I look at reasons for ouzo on cornflakes: Bidstack (BIDS), Remote Monitored Systems (RMS) and Iconic (ICON). I look at a personal winner AEX Gold (AEXG) which is very cheap and at new bad events at my baddest tip of the year Asiamet (ARS) for which I apologise.

This is becoming a new golden rule of investing. If Toxic Dave Sefton gets involved with a company, he will end up owing it stacks of cash after its resources were used to support his private interests, it will never get that cash back and it will be fucked. Investors will be almost entirely, at best, wiped out.  First it was Anglo African Oil & Gas (AAOG) – where eventually I forced him out after shocking revelations on this website, today it is Iconic Labs (ICON) which has fallen victim to the curse of Sefton, here he was a shadow director pulling all the strings after my revelations forced him off the board.

I wondered about the complete non-mention of those clever face masks that AIM-listed Haydale Graphene (HAYD) is supposed to be producing shed-loads of graphene for with regard to the trading statement last week. The more I think about it, the more surprising it is.

Let me be clear, Mr Mac Lucas was not threatening to hire a hitman to have me killed. He is not that sort of Supply@ME Capital (SYME)shareholder. But the top barrister from the Farringdon Chambers did, however, take to twitter with a brand new account he has since deleted but which I have captured in screenshots below, to threaten me with legal action. How do I know this is not a fake account? Because I contacted his chambers and, this morning, senior clerk Robert Archer replied:

Remote Monitored Systems (RMS) ’s Pharm2farm subsidiary has produced plenty of masks in trial runs so its staff should never have been short of protective masks to wear. So, on that basis, it’s not a great sales pitch is it: “our masks are so good our own staff caught and spread Covid.” No wonder this company has not got any customers.

Last year, we discovered on Friday that MyHealthChecked (MHC) lost £2.5 million on sales of £50,000. Yes that is dreadful but this company is now about the future of its Covid and other DNA tests and thus it has raised £3.4 million at 1.75p. It was not completely out of cash so, after costs, it probably has c£3.5 million in the bank.

The first of a number of triumphs today for the Sheriff of AIM is AIM bad boy Bidstack (BIDS). After repeated pressure from this website it has, finally, admitted that its pre-Christmas trading statement was a deceit and, better still, has issued a shock warning about 2021. Oh dear, its moronic followers, including Mike Turner, that cross-dressing IT freak from Northants, will be cacking themselves as a cash crisis looms. Let’s start with the false market created on 17 December with the misleading RNS signed off by shameless Nomad Stifel.

Back in mid-January, here,  concluded that the online fashion company ASOD (ASC) was strikingly worried about how its sales growth couple be impacted by consumers shifting back to buying in stores again post lockdown. And when the rumours started a week or so ago that it ‘confirms that it is in exclusive discussions with the Administrators of Arcadia over the acquisition of the Topshop, Topman, Miss Selfridge and HIIT brands’, I thought it would be buying both product and store angles.  Well I was wrong.

Nope not a reference to folks called Tom Winnifrith as the Supply@ME Capital (SYME) owning morons up the harassment with the shares still suspended ,although I am getting a little freaked out this morning. This refers to another endangered species.

Hello, Share Thrashers. Let’s consider one of my earlier recommendations that’s almost doubled in the last three months. This was not a prediction of great genius on my part as the rise was… well, quite predictable. I’m talking about a Sheffield company which is taking advantage of the boom in telly-watching caused by enforced home captivity…
