Health Nazi Andrew Monk has pulled a muscle. He says he will still do the 33 mile walk on Saturday but will struggle. He will certainly struggle to keep up with our latest recruit. Now we are 13.

Previously writing on Cellcast (CLTV), it was an intra-day “Trading Statement”. Uh oh…. Now another intra-day (this time at 10:45) RNS; “Update on overseas consulting services” – why don’t I think this is going to be good news?...

In today's bearcast I look at Afriag (AFRI), Big Dave's UK pot play which - as you can see below - he is ramping shamelessly, at Management Resource Solutions (MRS), Eve Sleep (EVE), First Derivatives (FDP), Purplebricks (PURP) and Thomas Cook (TCG). Now re Rogue Bloggers we are now at almost £44,000 and heading towards our £50,000 target. If you are yet to donate please do so HERE. To all those who have donated, many, many thanks.

Mortgage Advice Bureau (MAB1) has updated including “adviser numbers have continued to grow… the majority of our Appointed Representatives continue to hold strong growth plans for 2019 and 2020… we believe MAB is ideally positioned to continue increasing its market share, and to focus on wider group success and profitability through new opportunities and broadening our addressable market”. The shares have currently responded, er, towards 580p – more than 5% lower…

Let's start with WH Smith (SMWH), on which I concluded last time that 'I note the recent 20 quid resistance/support level and have put a flag at/below this level'. Want to guess where the newsagent (and much more) retailer's shares are now? Twenty quid and change!...

Developer, manufacturer and marketer of toiletries and fragrances, Creightons (CRL) has updated including “sales in the second half of the year to 31 March 2019 are likely to be broadly similar to those for the first half, but there will be a one-off benefit from the recovery of R&D expenditure”…

Alba Mineral Resources (ALBA) “is very pleased to announce that a Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate has been completed in respect of the Company's 100% owned Thule Black Sands Project in north-west Greenland”…

Hello, Share Splashers. As the weather warms up, let’s probe a company which has a lot to do with domestic swimming pools. Water Intelligence (WATR) doesn't supply them, but it keeps a close watch on them with some whiz-bang technology. And it makes a lot of income by finding and stopping up leaks (may I topically plug my famous share winners' book Poolside Tycoon at this stage)...

WARNING: Our apologies, this Bearcast has distorted sound from after ten minutes, when Tom recorded it. It is still audible. We'll try to fix it for tomorrow's Bearcast. I start with a short bit on the wild use of language and yes the trans "genocide" is my starting point. I look at IQE (IQE), Thomas Cook (TCG) and classic red flags - Eight Peaks Group (8PG), Yu (YU.), Bushveld (BMN) and Tesla (TSLA). If you have yet to donate to Rogue Bloggers for Woodlarks (another announcement tomorrow), please do so HERE.

A “Termination of Discussions and Holding in Company” announcement from Frontier Smart Technologies (FST) – and the shares are currently soaring, at above 25p, having previously closed at 14.75p. Hmmm…

AIM-listed Turkish gold producer Ariana has offered up the latest full production numbers for its Kiziltepe joint venture. As I had expected, costs were up a little due to the Turkish Lira strengthening, but the gold price had a good quarter (sadly not sustained…..) so income was up.

I did warn my pal Andrew Monk, as he greedily filled his boots with Thomas Cook (TCG) shares and for a time he looked smart. Now the stock has collapsed to just 10p but that still values the company at c£150 million. The bad news for Monkey and Chris “three brains “ Bailey, a fellow bull, is that this is likely to be a zero.

Project management and technical consultancy, WYG plc (WYG) is recommending an offer from Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ - TTEK) of 55p per share – including emphasising it “a premium of approximately 244 per cent to the closing price of 16 pence per WYG share on the last practicable date”!...

On 11 April Rose Petroleum (ROSE) announced that Mr Robert Bensh was buying £275,000 of shares in the company at 1.1p to take a 14% stake and would become chairman with immediate effect. Er….

“Trading Update” and “Change of Leadership” announcements from Low & Bonar (LWB). I’m guessing the former ain’t going to be good then!...

After admitting I still loved up easyJet (EZJ) shares late last week, what to make of its great peer Ryanair (RYA) which produced its latest set of numbers today?...

Fund managers hedge against sharp stock market fall, Break up Facebook? & more...

Hello, Share Crumblers. Three or four years ago, I sold all this family’s shares in the big engineer Spirax-Sarco (SPX). The reason was that the company had such a long good run, improving year after year, that I thought that all good things come to an end. However, the outfit has since gone from strength to strength. Typical!...

Anglo Asian Mining (AAZ) has announced results for the 2018 calendar year and that it is “on track” to achieve a 82,000-86,000 gold equivalent ounces production target for 2019…

Yu Group (YU.) has been the AIM darling this past week and I see the usual suspects are out in force telling the
masses how the company should trade at many multiples blah blah blah. I wonder how many millions all
these guys have made seeing as they put Warren Buffett to shame in finding truly undervalued shares.
