In January I wrote that Tesla’s luck might be running out and suggested selling at $310 with a sub $100 target by Christmas. Having traded higher for most of February the shares closed last night at $254 where it is still massively overvalued at $43 billion.

From the FCA's spreadsheet of short positions required to be disclosed to it, the following shows the shorted AIM shares with positions from 2017 and thus far in 2018 (by net short position %) - and if this position has increased (red), reduced (green) or remained unchanged (black) since last week...

Hello, Share Scribblers. As the markets ain’t open for a bit, we have one of those windows where we can make general reflections on our share trading, rather than concentrating on individual stocks. So allow me to observe that risking money on shares is a very serious business. In fact, investment comes second only to health and love in the pursuit of a perfect life.

Sosandar (SOS) has announced results for the nine months to 31^st December 2017 – yes, they show a £2.1 million operating loss on revenue of £0.9 million, but remember its website only went live in September 2016 and momentum is very positive indeed…

Bad language alert. The results are dire and demonstrate again the extent of the fraud that the useless wankers at AIM Regulation, Nomad SP Angel and the FCA are prepared to overlook. They show the extent of the lies told by CEO Eric Schaer. And they show a company that is running out of other people's money fast, facing a death spiral blizzard of share sales and where everyone involved deserves to burn in hell. With hard analysis of the numbers I explain all. If you like bearcasts then remember that at UK Investor on April 21 one of many highlights will be a live bearcast with myself and Paul Scott.

Book publishing group Quarto (QRT) has announced results for the 2017 calendar year, including that “the group expects a steady recovery with some organic growth in Children's, softer foreign language markets, and continuing remedial action in the Adults portfolio, to drive improved cash generation”. The shares have responded… more than 9% lower towards 150p! Hmmm…

Back last August I covered the non-payment of monies due to AIM-listed Adamas (ADAM) following the redemption of a convertible bond Adamas held in a Chinese company, Global Pharm Holdings Group. It was owed millions - to have been settled by April 2015 - and numerous revised and re-revised deals were signed – not that the cash materialised. More to the point, Adamas seemed to be having a spot of bother tracking down the Chairman of that company. And so to yesterday’s update….

AIM-listed Servision (SEV) has updated the market once again regarding its suspension pending clarification of financial position. We had already been told that investors are unlikely to get much (or, indeed, anything at all) but previously a third party had expressed an interest in acquiring Servision Ltd (the operating business) – good(ish) news, but for Servision Ltd having come under the bankruptcy protection of the Israeli court. We were told yesterday that the court rejected an application from Servision plc to pursue a sale. Oh dear.

Hello Share Mashers. Yonks ago I bought a book telling how a Christian could still trade shares. A bit of an insult, I thought, as that implies the two disciplines are incompatible.  But I soon realised that some investors go against Christian principals. Here’s how Christians might conduct their share activity.

AIM-listed Inspirit Energy (INSP) has released its interim accounts to December 2017. We are told the company is pleased to announce its interims. What there is to be pleased about rather escapes me – the company is drowning in payables and has hardly any cash left (if any at all).

I ended my most recent piece on RM2 International (RM2) with a suspicion that Woodford was getting tempted to support these guys one last time and today a $36 million placing at 1p was announced, pretty much wiping out the existing shareholders and leaving him holding 67% of this uber-dog!

I was initially bearish on “software and service company specialising in identity, credential management and secure mobility”, Intercede (IGP) in 2016 at above 60p and most recently last month at below 30p. Today it’s below 25p and a Directorate Change announcement…

The results are for the year to 30th September 2017 as is clear if you read down the RNS. But sadly even when he tries to tell the truth UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) boss Steve Sanderson can't seem to get it quite right as the two screenshots below show...

AIM-listed Bowleven (BLVN) has this morning released its interims to December 2017. Of note is the huge reduction in administrative expenses and the binning of the deal with AIM-listed Victoria Oil and Gas (VOG) with regard to the Bomono asset in Cameroon.

Bad language alert. No I am not referring to Mrs Stacey. I would not dare but to Feedback (FDBK) which has done a placing today but another one is needed soon. I look at Mosman (MSMN) which has had terrible results and imagine the conversations round at SP Angel as poor Zac Phillips is forced to pen another buy note on this POS. I look at results from UK Oil & Gas (UKOG), the RedX (REDX) disaster, RM2 (RM2) and Conviviality (CVR). I really enjoyed today's podcast and - conceitedly - think it is rather a good one. 

You may disagree with me (and feel free to post your selections in the comments below) but I think the FTSE-100's most boring company is...Scottish & Southern Electricity (SSE). I introduced this concept back in November, where I also observed that a proposed bit of consolidation in its core power supply/distribution business might actually provide something to write about other than an ultra-tedious dedication to the dividend (and very limited - if any - capital growth).

You can't sit on bad news forever. In the end even Lyin Steve Sanderson of UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) needs to fess up and so today we got the much delayed news of flow testing at Broadford Bridge. Natch Lyin' Steve tried to bury the poisonous needle in a haystack of waffle.

Given what is going on in the markets and world in general at the moment, it would seem silly not to have gold featuring somewhere in your portfolio.

Pathfinder Minerals (PFP) has yet to fess up but it has been served with a new EGM request by Richard Jennings of Align, seeking to oust disgraced trougher CEO Nick "Not for the Many but for the " Trew and Tory Toff NED Sir Henry Bellingham of 3DM infamy.

Transport technology company 21st Century (C21) has announced results for the 2017 calendar year, emphasising “enormous progress” and “having started the year with a far stronger order book than last year... the board expects the group's progress to continue”. The shares have though responded little changed, still sub 3p - and having been 2.625p at the commencement of 2017. Hmmm…
