The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Continues To Hold $1900……..just!

Gold closed the week at $1924 – up a shade from last week’s $1919 but the rather more important thing for me was that it held the $1900 line (just) on Thursday. I sense that this is the battle line and if it holds it should provide a springboard for a push back towards the all-time high.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: a buy idea that is too sordid for me to consider

I start with Russell Brand and Chile's most famous poet, I end with Sharestock. In between Doc Holliday, ECR Minerals (ECR), that sordid buy idea, why Id like to see more AIM Companies going bust and Bidstack (BIDS)

How bonkers will the Bank of England be later this week?

There are a number of interesting corporate names reporting here in the UK over the next week, but I am also “looking forward” to Thursday’s upcoming decision from the Bank of England. I say “looking forward”, because I think the BoE has lost the plot about its interest rate policy…

A wipeout for IOG equity holders seems the most likely outcome now - sell/avoid

IOG (IOG) is one of those natural resource companies that has found itself drowning in debt and with seemingly no way out that is likely to leave much, if any, value for current equity holders.

Here’s a little bit of Sunday schadenfreude for you. Among quoted US companies, the 25 worst stocks have lost shareholders a collective US $1.2 trillion since 1926. Put another way, just 0.1% of all stocks have led to 14% of all cumulative losses in shareholder wealth.

Here are the most read and most listened-to articles and Bearcasts on ShareProphets over the past seven days. The most read non-Quiz, non-Tom article last week is by Nigel Somerville, The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Settles Back But Holds $1900 at No 2 or No 2 including Bearcasts.

I expect a strong performance from Afentra when the Angola deals complete later this year and it is one to watch

I know some private investors are frustrated with Afenta (AET) as it has spent more time in suspension than it has trading over the past couple of years since the acquisition of an asset in Angola was first announced, but I think people will be rewarded for their patience.

Haydale Delivers Monster Portion Of Ouzo To Deputy Sheriff Towers Promising More To Come

AIM-listed cash-spunking disaster Haydale (HAYD) served up a huge bottle of Ouzo for Deputy Sheriff Towers yesterday at 3pm on a Friday – no-one-is-watching o’clock, as the City packed up for a rugby-filled weekend.

Doc Holliday to run AIM listed ECR Minerals – you could not make this up

ECR Minerals (ECR) is almost out of cash, if it does not raise cash very soon by issuing new shares it will go bust. Look at the last results and even Stevie Wonder can see what a terrible mess it is in. This is not opinion it is fact. Spiv broker Novum Securities will need to be doing yet another deeply discounted placing PDQ to keep the lights on. But it gets worse, there are management changes.

Golden Prospect Precious Metals – interims, gains to follow now ‘peak of indifference/disdain’? Buy

Precious metals equities-focused investment company Golden Prospect (GPM) has announced results for the first half of the 2023 calendar year, emphasising opportunity for investors as “the discount between the Net Asset Value and the share price expanded to 23%; the worst since the height of the market sell-off in 2020”.
SHEL

A Word in your Shell-Like. It's Not too Late to Latch onto this Colossal Share Boomer.

Hello Share Rattlers. I’m a happy bunny. Because oil prices have risen for three weeks on the trot. This has pushed Shell (SHEL) shares to within a whisker of their all time high. So far this year, the stock has risen 9.55%. About 9.4% of that improvement registered in the last month. That’s jolly good going for a jumbo Footsie share.

Tom Winnifrith Video Shareshow No 32: Kerim Sener of Ariana Resources & Chris Bailey on the bonds pension timebomb and blue chips to buy

I am back with these bonus video shows, is this 31 or 32. What the heck: I reset the counter at 32. In this show I interview Kerim Sener of Ariana resources (AAU) and then give my analysis of why I am very happy to hold the shares. Then it is onto Chris Bailey on macroeconomics, the two financial bombshells facing the over 45s and blue chips to buy. I hope that you enjoy the show.

Touchstar – interims, outlook still very positive…

Mobile data computing and managed services company Touchstar (TST) has announced its results for the first half of the 2023 calendar year and an outlook for “another good year for the business and create momentum into 2024”. So further upside from a current 96.25p share price - we tipped it an 80p offer not long ago?

Just because you can buy a ticket from Trainline does not mean you need to buy the shares

I have been wholly uninspired by Trainline (TRN) shares since the IPO from the “leading independent rail and coach travel platform” back in 2019. The stock has been a bit of a dog over the last four years, although it is little changed from my grumpy update on it earlier this year in May. Is Trainline still an avoid for me?
