Photo Article, Lucian Miers almost at the end of a 30 mile training walk in the Grim North
Pictured below is Lucian Miers entering Bridlington at the weekend after a 30 mile coastal walk from Scarborough. He says that he was "feeling a bit cream crackered!" after 11 hours walking.

Advanced Oncotherapy: The cheque’s in the post or is it?
Oh dear, oh dear. We still have no refinancing, interims, prelims and shares in Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO), which should have been slung off Aim on January 1 remain there and suspended. As AIM Regulation does not give a flying feck about its own rules ( in this case Rule 19), why should anyone else? Today there is more bad news.- By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM |

Mirriad deeply discounted placing – it's not about accelerating growth it's about accounts sign off
IPO’d at 65p in 2017, shares in Mirriad Advertising (MIRI) are today 1.3p having managed to send more than £70 million of other folks cash to money heaven in its inglorious career. Today comes a bailout placing £6.1 million at just 1.25p which, it is claimed, will drive the company to the sunlit uplands: “This successful placing means we can move forward from our build phase, towards true scale with confidence”. Bollocks, the real reason is about audit sign off on 2023 accounts.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Argentex – this placing is looking messy: I did warn you all
Back on October 26 last year after Argentex (AGFX) binned its long serving CEO Harry Adams (not that one) I warned you to avoid shares in the money broker like the plague at 78p. Today, despite announcing a planned £5.09 million fund raise at 45p the shares, as I write, languish at 35p, valuing the business at c£40 million. The retail offer which will follow looks unlikely to flourish even if the placing gets away.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Surface Transforms – “pleased to announce” result of a massively discounted fundraising, I wonder why!…
Previously on carbon fibre-reinforced ceramic automotive brake discs company Surface Transforms (SCE), two weeks ago I wrote “2024 Sales Outlook” down from just last week! And what about the balance sheet position that dare not speak its name again? concluding, at a further down to 3.5p share price, it looking again like liquidity crunch ahoy, at what price any further bailout now? Still avoid/sell. The company now states it is “pleased to announce… has conditionally raised gross proceeds of £6.5 million”, but what of a share price currently more than 64% further lower in response towards 1p!?
