BREAKING: More ouzo for the Sheriff as £250m con Dev Clever goes bust
There were some share promoters who pushed Dev Clever (DEV), which IPO'd at 1p, as being worth 50p per share and indeed the shares reached the 40s and were suspended at just over 30p making this a £250 million disaster waiting to happen. I pointed out that it was run from a lock up in Stafford, that it was a cash guzzling POS, the stinky share sales by the CEO ahead of a lack of profits warnings, spoof investments at a premium to the share price made by companies with no cash. My list of exposes was a long one as you can see HERE. This was always going to be a disaster but natch, mug punters knew otherwise.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Lok’nStore still loves to hold your junk
A year ago, I observed that there had been a “strong update from Lok’nStore (LOK) but, but, but…”. I have never personally used a “self-storage company”, but lots of people regularly do. And I see that the group’s headline comment from today’s trading update is talking about “momentum continues”. Why is the share price down about 25% during the last year then?

Dark Mare Born Before the French Revolution could Ride Up the Big Winner's List
Hello Share Walkers. All the high street banks are currently undervalued in my humble view. But the one I think is the best bet for share shifters now is the Black Horse stable. Yes, I know I’ve made this suggestion more than once before, but I think there’s even more of a case for your interest now. Here’s why.- By Malcolm Stacey |

Tom Winnifrith video shareshow Number 29 - Stuart Ashman of Skinbiotherapeutics and is Ocado the No 1 short in the FTSE 100
I am back with these bonus video shows. I am still re-adjusting myself to Zoom so if my face looks a bit funny in part 4 there is a reason. In this show I interview Stuart Ashman of Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX), dissect that interview myself and then ask if Ocado (OCDO) really is the Number 1 FTSE 100 short or one for the bears to dodge. I hope you enjoy the show.- By Tom Winnifrith |

Notes from Underground – Most read articles for the week ending 12 August
The most read non-Quiz, non-Tom article last week is by Chris Bailey, Is hotel love peaking? And elsewhere, I still like the not particularly understood distribution and more world of SIG, at No 23 or No 23 including Bearcasts.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: I shall be sacking Gary Newman in the morning
I'm kidding of course. I discuss free speech on this website and why Gary is so, so utterly wrong on Obtibiotix (OPTI) and SkinBiotherapeutics (SBTX). If he watches the videos HERE he might repent of his sins. I also mention Sharestock were there are now fewer than 15 seats left. Book HERE- By Tom Winnifrith |

I don't get the OptiBiotix rise based on no actual news flow and think it is over-priced - sell
I know that Tom is definitely going to disagree with me on this one as it is a company that he has been keen on for a long time, but I’m really struggling to see what all the fuss is about with OptiBiotix Health (OPTI), when you look at the actual news flow that the company has announced..- By Gary Newman |
