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.- By Gary Newman |

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.- By Tom Winnifrith |

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

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.premium content

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?

Powerhouse Patent Hocum Schmocum

AIM Awards shortlist out – more nauseating self indulgence, but perhaps it tells us where value lies
As David Lenigas so rightly pointed out the other day, AIM is not the world’s most successful growth market, as it claims, it is dying on its feet. It is on track to suffer its worst year in history in terms of fundraisings, investors are set for another year of negative returns and the number of companies is shrinking rapidly to more than 20 year lows. Yet the fat cats, the crony capitalists who have grown rich are preparing for a black tie feast of back slapping and self indulgence, where tickets costing hundreds of pounds and vast drinks bills are ultimately pad for by you, investors. The AIM Awards shortlists are out. It is nauseating.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Portmeirion – after recent “significantly below” expectations profit warning, reckons “pleased to announce” half-year results!
Previously writing on homewares group Portmeirion (PMP), in July on a “significantly below” expectations profit warning that saw the shares falling below 300p I concluded that I continued to avoid. The shares most recently closed at 288p, and what of them currently slightly further lower on the back of “pleased to announce” half-year results?
