And now from Wales, by just 30 yards, it is my new weekly video show. This costs 99p per episode, and you can either listen to, or watch, some sparky interviews with Charlie Morris a bitcoin guru where we also discuss gold and the markets and Malcolm Palle of Aquis listed Coinsilum which is now an NFT play Plus there are a few thoughts on wider stockmarket issues from me. This bitcoin, blockchain & NFT special has a lot of gags but is also, I hope, pretty informative.You can access the show HERE 

Previously writing on marketing software company Pelatro (PTRO), in November I wrote “excited with the progress achieved”. It sure?…. It is now “pleased to announce” its 2020 results…

The 98% of you yet to donate to rogue bloggers for Woodlarks will not have seen the offer made by Optibiotix (OPTI) boss Steve O’Hara. You can both see his offer and make a donation as you think of the misery that looms for Andrew Bell on 29 May HERE. In the rest of the podcast I discuss being snitched on by some cottage burning freak, Ridgecrest (RDGC), Bluebird Merchant Ventures (BMV) and Alba Minerals (ALBA). 

AIM-listed jam-tomorrow investment company Tern plc (TERN) has released its Annual Report for FY20, which contains a few surprises (not least of which Boardroom pay) but the shocker is the FY20 accounts which investee Wyld Networks – which Tern claimed a £2 million uplift on – has filed at Companies House. I’m no accountant, but I wonder what Tern’s Auditor, Smith & Williamson, was smoking.

Designer and manufacturer of computer boards for particularly the defence and telecommunications industries, Concurrent Technologies (CNC) has announced 2020 results, noting “record revenue for the year of £21.14m (2019: £19.38m)” and a “record order book, which has seen a substantial increase during the first quarter of 2021”. Why then have the shares currently responded to below 100p, more than 7% lower?…

Libertarian investor Rafi Farber is an economist of the Austrian school so clearly a sound chap. He outlines the treasury market operations and the massive increase in debt issuance. Much of this debt is now being redeployed under Janet Yellen and will require an enormous amount of additional issuance to finance the infrastructure spending under Biden. This debt will be raised through ten-year and two-year treasuries, and the Fed will have to monetize nearly all of it. And that will have only one result.

Live events and entertainment group Live Company (LVCG) has announced an update including “not only did we manage to survive this turbulent period… with many of our competitors ceasing trading… but we added an additional division to the company” (Sports and Entertainment). However, the shares have currently responded more than 7% further lower, to 5p, capitalising the company at £5.5 million…

Belatedly, the fraud Supply@ME Capital (SYME) fessed that my expose was correct and that it had, indceed, forgotten to hold an AGM for 2019. And thus on 8 April it announced that this meeting would take place on 30 April but, with a hat tip to reader MJ, I wonder if it has not goofed once more.

Quite honestly what is the point of announcing a lock in arrangement when across London’s junior markets folks either ignore them completely or sell a big line and then get everyone to agree that the lock in now only applies to the remaining shares? Why not be honest and say that what is in effect is an Orderly Market Arrangement except when folks just dump with no sanction which is a disorderly market arrangement?

I do not write this in defence of paedophiles for there can be no defence of these sick individuals. Nor am I defending one particular paedophile, John Frensham, formerly known as Jonathan James Hunt, the sole director of Frensham Wealth Limited. In March 2017, Mr Frensham was convicted of attempting to meet a child following sexual grooming. Mr Frensham was sentenced to 22 months’ imprisonment, suspended for 18 months. My first observation is which dipstick, Guardian reading, wet liberal judge handed out such a light sentence?  

Hello, Share Pushers. I’ve not covered Kingfisher (KGF) before, if ever. But it’s hard to ignore that this company seems to have benefited from Covid - and could continue to do so once the virus has gone. It’s the stay-at-home DIY boom that has prompted its soaring sales. That and the fact that many of its 1800 stores have stayed open, in Blighty, anyway, because what they sell is deemed essential.

I am in complete agony after a 20 mile training walk for Woodlarks. Feel my pain and please make a donation to rogue bloggers today. Then I make a few more observations about Optibiotix (OPTI) and its chairman.

Back here on the 1st March, Tom, Nigel and myself had a very interesting chat on the outlook for gold sector opportunities…and an understanding that markets that continued to be generally highly optimistic would be unlikely to be led by the performance of the gold shiny stuff.  My own view – expressed here and elsewhere – is that the scope for higher UK, US or European equity markets by the end of this year is still likely – but that does not mean I dump all my favourite gold holdings.  All this means is that you are playing a medium-term came with the latter grouping.  To that end I still have about 10% of my shares portfolio in my person favourite Barrick Gold listed in the US and Canada.  

I noted two weeks ago that Gold had gone nowhere for two and a half weeks. Then the Gold price was $1734, down from the previous week’s $1745 and here we are a fortnight later with the Gold price at $1744 – it is like watching paint dry! But there looks to be some signs of hope that there are northward stirrings heading this way.

Kibo Energy (KIBO) is one of those AIM shares that seems to exist primarily to provide an income to the directors first and foremost. The RNS on 5^th February did however catch my eye. This stated the valuation of Mast Energy Developments (MED), due to be spun out of Kibo and list on Wednesday (14^th April) at £23.6 million, with Kibo retaining a 55% stake. It was a clear disconnect of value to Kibo’s share price at the time.

Well, you still don’t get a prize. Find your own beer, sit in the most comfortable seat, and, under no circumstances, can you Google the answer. Only I can do that. There are no prizes but post your scores in the comments for bouquets and brickbats.

Here are five long reads that have nothing to do with shares. Put the kettle on, find a comfy chair. You have the time, don’t you? 

The Sunday ShareProphets Pub Quiz has cracked the top ten most-read stories of the week list. That’s the real news of the week. As for the most read non-Tom article, it’s Ariana – A Reader Asks … by Nigel Somerville at number six, or  number 14 including Bearcasts and Tom’s new shareshow. Which one is the best of the week? You don’t need to tell me in the comments – it’s clearly the pub quiz.

And now from Wales, by just 30 yards, it is my new weekly video show. This costs 99p per episode, and you can either listen to, or watch, some sparky interviews with Richard Poulden on Wishbone Gold (WSBN) where I own shares and am a bull and on his other company Upper Thames (UPPT) a blockchain play where I cannot hide that I do not get it at all and Chris “Three Brains” Bailey on what he is buying and on macro-economics.You can access the show HERE 

I start with a few words on the late Phil the Greek and reference an article I wrote exactly one month ago HERE on the liberal US celeb Joy Behar calling out Phil and his family as Nazis.  I reflect on the weather here in Wales and how tomorrow’s 20 mile training walk for Woodlarks will be very unpleasant indeed. So please do support me with a donation HERE. Then I discuss the saintly Vin Murria and share sales at Summerway (SWC) and for the first and last time in history I am a bit uneasy about all of this. Then the debate on whether to back the Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) or the Optibiotix (OPTI) charger?
