TWD

Trackwise Designs – open offer update, its fundraising still shameful?

A further fundraising update from Trackwise Designs (TWD) includes that “the company has decided to accept applications under the open offer for £1.625 million (previously £1.0 million)”. I previously called the fundraising shameful, is it still so?…

PHTM

Photo-Me International – trading update, ‘remains profitable’… or not?

Vending equipment and services company Photo-Me International (PHTM) has issued a trading update which includes that it “was cash flow positive in the period” and “as at 31 October 2020, the group had a net cash balance of £22 million”. However, the shares are currently 3% lower at 57p, so what is the cash flow and balance sheet detail?…

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: May 1 he is made a Lord, June 2017 he hands over £500,000 - nothing to see here sir, move along quietly!

I start with the reason for no bearcast yesterday, Joshua and I heading to an empty house in Shipston. Then today’s Advent calendar window which confuses me. Then onto Nakama (NAK), Red Rock Resources (RRR), Wishbone (WSBN) which could be a 100 bagger – see HERE  - Monday’s fraud conference which is definitely my last outing as a speaker – Anglesey Mining (AYM) and finally why at every level, including valuation, Sensyne (SENS) is a complete and utter stinker. 

NAK

Nakama to become a cash shell, but a value investment?

Shares in recruitment group Nakama (NAK), once called Highams and a perennial dog in the bottom tier of the AIM Cesspit, are up by 15% on news that it is to sell its ongoing businesses and become a cash shell.  As ever, investors are a tad over-optimistic.

ZEN

Caption Contest from Zenith, the worthless POS ramp of the day: Two old Italian geezers in Africa

I have no idea why shares in Zenith Energy (ZEN), the worthless, cash guzzling POS which needs me to force it to fess up to bad news, are soaring. Perhaps the photo tweet below from boss, Andrea “the king of socks” Cattaneo might be a clue to the ramp.

Boom

Photo Article: Gary Newman lands a monster, no fisherman's tale

You may have noticed that Gary Newman is not filing a lot of copy. His wretched and pathetic excuse is that he is on his day job as a fishing journalist and is out in the field, or, to be precise, the seas offshore Kenya. And in case you think anglers always exaggerate when it comes to size here is our man with a sailfish he caught earlier…

Dialight – neither Mr Market or I agree with its "confidence for the future"

A trading statement today from LED lighting for industrial applications company Dialight (DIA) concludes that structural drivers position it well and give it confidence for the future. However, the shares have eased by 2% to 253.5p. That suggests that Mr Market does not wholly share that stated “confidence for the future”.

TERN

Shocking news at InVMA which Tern is not disclosing via RNS. Who cares about AIM Rules anyway?

Shares in AIM-listed jam-tomorrow (if ever) investment company have again been dribbling south, closing yesterday at 6.95p. With a load of freshly raised cash and a new investment to boast, surely things are going well for Tern……but alas the market seems to be taking a different view. Of course, Tern has a habit of keeping quiet when there might be something to clear up – such as the recent speculation (unfounded, as it happens) on the BBs about Wyld. And that brings me to its 50%-owned investee InVMA.

BRGE

A Bad Day at BlackRock Greater Europe - But Only Very Slightly and its Record-Breaking Run Should Soon Continue

Hello, Share Packers. My fellow investors in BlackRock’s Greater Europe Investment Trust (BRGE) may have noticed the share fell slightly yesterday. This is unusual these days as this seemingly Covid-proof investment vehicle keeps on breaking its old highs. BlackRock is, of course, one of the biggest financial investors in the world and has many funds. But the Greater Europe trust seems to be one of its more successful…

Amino Technologies – Trading & Dividend Update”, a Buy again?...

TV and video streaming technology company Amino (AMO) was an initial pick for 2020 from me at a 134p offer price. The shares approached 150p in early February, but I concluded at 123p to sell in March as coronavirus impacted, the noted performance might see it best to take the small hit now and, perhaps, look to re-enter down the line. The shares last closed at 115p but are currently above 120p on the back of a “Trading & Dividend Update”…

Don’t go selling your Jubilee Metals now – although this has been a cracking share tip, price target almost doubled to 16p...

We tipped Jubilee Metals (JLP) at a 4.6p offer in July 2020. Ding Dong! As we approach Christmas the shares are circa 11p, making we loyal investors pretty happy. But do not even think of selling. Here’s why:

CLCO

CloudCoCo – “confident of further strategic progress”. And financial progress?!

UK provider of IT and communications services to businesses and public sector organisations, CloudCoCo (CLCO) has updated including “trading EBITDA, a key marker for demonstrating the success of the group’s recovery to date, expected to be well ahead in H2” and “cash positive in FY20” – and the shares have currently responded more than 14% higher to 1.20p, but what’s the actual detail?…

VNET

Vianet – “pleased to announce” results… or not?...

Provider of data from connected business devices, Vianet (VNET“is pleased to announce its interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2020”. The shares have currently responded to around 80p, er more than 5% lower…

ZYT

Zytronic – results, trading challenging… but a longer-term recovery buy?

Previously writing on manufacturer of products for electronic displays Zytronic (ZYT), in October I suggested value recovery potential but noted it “facing uncertainty regarding levels of future business” and on the watchlist. Now results for its year ended 30th September 2020 have been published. On the surface they look bad, but if you dig deeper maybe this has attractions as an investment…

Centamin – Top Brass Buying, You Should Too

Fully-listed Egyptian Gold-producer Centamin (CEY) has released RNSs showing that its top brass have been dipping into their own pockets to buy its shares in the wake of last week’s updated mine plan. As discussed HERE and HERE there is plenty to suggest that the offering of a very attractive dividend has much to commend the shares and now Chairman James Rutherford and CEO Martin Horgan have shown the way.

Zoetic & Anglesey – there is no shame: just place and be done with it

The two companies have only two things in common. The first is that their balance sheets are thinner than an anorexic Ethiopian supermodel with a coke habit. The second is that in recent weeks their shares have absolutely flown.

Gold

Video: the world is bust but bitcoin is NOT Gold

Bullion dealer Simon Mikhailovich argues that today’s accounting practices may look okay on paper but the truth is that we are bust. It is now impossible to meet the future demands on cash-flow. Rates today are at 5000-year lows, while most assets are very overpriced. The dollar has declined in value during the past century by 95%. He argues that since interest rates are now zero, currency can only fall in value from here.

The Mighty Ceres Power Is on the Road to More Riches Again, A Few Days after I Thought of Profit-Taking

Hello, Share Sweepers. Very recently, I wondered if the share price of Ceres Power (CWR) might be overheating. A tasty four-bagger in a year with a big negative p/e is something to consider selling. However, I did say that a big nugget of positive news could change everything. And that’s exactly what’s happened, with the share up another 11%…

TED

Ted Baker – interims, “very confident… right strategy in place”?...

Self-proclaimed ‘global lifestyle brand’ Ted Baker (TED) has announced interim results, emphasising “our balance sheet is materially stronger than we had envisaged this early in the plan… we are confident that we have the right strategy and team in place and that we are setting the business up for future success”. The shares have currently responded to around 120p, er more than 10% lower!…

Agronomics – starting to take off?...

Agronomics (ANIC) describes itself as “a leading listed investor in alternative proteins with a focus on cellular agriculture and cultivated meat… these technologies are driving a major disruption in agriculture, offering solutions to improve sustainability, as well as addressing human health, animal welfare and environmental damage”. So, very green shite… but very in tune with market sentiment currently, with recent news which suggests this sector is starting to take off…
