Excuse my croaky voice. In this inaugural edition of the ShareProphets Radio podcast sponsored by Riverfort Global Capital, this week, in order I discuss the pot bubble, interview Nigel Somerville on Neil Woodford, flag up my next 3 FRC PLC victims, interview outspoken broker Andrew Monk, discuss why CSR is a waste of cash and interview Steve O'Hara of Optibiotix (OPTI). Enjoy. If you like this and can't wait seven days for more of the same you should listen to my Bearcast every day.

In today;s podcast I discuss how the Mrs has fallen victim to the fascists of the North Wales Police, Karelian Diamonds (KDR), ASOS (ASC), Eve Sleep (EVE) and Sosandar (SOS).

I have noted on this website several times how Audioboom (BOOM) has real form in giving a misleading indication of its cash  position and cashburn ahead of a bailout placing. I warned you that it was up to its old tricks again in the final months of 2018 and early 2019 ahead of two placings which came along as predicted. Now the scale of that naughtiness is revealed with dismal interims out today. Here is your timeline.

My friend Dominic has a new song out today and it could have been written specifically for deranged Versarien (VRS) owning imbeciles trolling me. It's "keyboard warrior". Enjoy.

Shares in 7digital Group (7DIG) are currently on the rise on the back of a “Management and Board Changes and Cost Savings” announcement, including “we have largely completed the rescue by securing a new, strategic majority investor, which has stated that it is prepared to invest further funds”…

I noted yesterday that AIM-listed Karelian (KDR), of the Conroy stable, had issued £100,000 worth of equity following a subscription. Since then, two directors bought in the market but word has reached Deputy Sheriff Towers of settlement issues. With a sack-the-board EGM coming up next Friday this looks a mess: will the shares have to be suspended?

A “Service agreement from a global technology company” announcement from Big Sofa Technologies (BST)…

Andrew Bailey, the head of the FCA, has complained bitterly that Neil Woodford followed the letter, but not the spirit, of the rules in relation to the unquoted holdings within his Equity Income Fund, according to The Telegraph which was reporting on the FCA’s annual public meeting in London on Wednesday.

A “Shareholder Loan Conversion” announcement has followed results from Ncondezi Energy (NCCL)…

Morningstar has some good news for Neil Woodford’s Income Focus Fund (WIFF) this morning: the units put on 0.56% yesterday (despite its fifth largest holding as at the end of May, Kier Group – KIE - slipping again). That should have moved the total fund size from the previous close at £287.5 million to £289.1 million. That, of course, is before redemptions…..

Dear Share Trenders. We all know that family doctors are under increasing pressure with an ageing population and unhealthy lifestyles, as well as better treatments which are thankfully keeping more folk alive for longer. It follows therefore that a company which helps GPs manage their surgeries and keep their medical records will probably do well...

Shares in Westminster Group (WSG) spiked to around 17p earlier this month and closed at 14p yesterday. Now the “supplier of managed services and technology-based security solutions worldwide, is pleased to provide an update on its operations at the new Tema Container Port, Ghana”…

AIM-listed Turkish gold producer Ariana Resources (AAU) has announced its Q2 production  numbers. Reading head honcho Kerim Sener’s comments it sounds as though the company has had a bit of a torrid time with the weather and a pushback at its pit. Even so, production is above target and the macro picture – ie the gold price – is doing everything right.

Already down from a start of 2019 more than 9p, shares in CyanConnode (CYAN) are currently further lower below 6p despite a trading update seeing Executive Chairman John Cronin commencing “we have made solid progress during H1 2019, securing a number of follow on orders in India and Europe, which is testament to the strength of our Omnimesh technology” and concluding “the growth in India and the demand from the rest of the world gives the board confidence that we will meet full year market expectations. We look forward to reporting on such new orders in H2 2019 and delivering significant revenue growth for FY 2019”. Hmmm…

Having previously banked gains on Union Jack Oil (UJO), we re-recommended at the end of last month at 0.19p to buy noting with the initial West Newton result excitement having calmed down and new funds raised, it looked a good opportunity to get back on-board before the potential excitement in the second half of this year and that the ‘commentators’ who ramped last time in a fairly aggressive way had not gone away & indeed participated in the placing. The shares are now 0.27p to sell on the back of a “Biscathorpe-2 Well Update”…

I am trying to remember if the watch I wear cost me below or above £100 when I bought it a few years ago. At worst it was just into the triple digit zone but the basic point is that I do not wear an expensive watch. As I have observed before, fortunately for the world's retailers there are plenty of people out there with a greater propensity to consume...and on watches specifically this brings us to recent IPO Watches of Switzerland (WOSG)…

In today's bearcast I look at Versarien (VRS), Telit (TCM) and Anglo African Oil & Gas (AAOG) . Three dogs.

This morning’s data from Morningstar shows that the NAV per unit of Neil Woodford’s Income Focus Fund put on a modest 0.05% yesterday. With the total fund having closed previously on £287.8 million that should have lifted the fund to £287.9 million before redemptions hit.

An update from OptiBiotix Health (OPTI); “Scientific and commercial update”...

Hello, Share Jumpers. As the PPI claims August cut-off point nears, I can’t shrug off the uneasy feeling that I must be entitled to cashback. However, as I never borrow money and my last mortgage was taken out before the ark sailed, I must push the thought behind me. Nevertheless, PPI leads me to think of my shareholding in Lloyds Bank (LLOY)...
