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

Tintra– a growing list of red flags

I recently commented on the poor optics of two director resignations at Symphony Environmental (SYM). Tintra (TNT) has also had two non-executive Directors resign from the Tintra Plc Board after only a short period of time, to take up non-board roles in the wider Tintra organisation. On 9 March 2023, Tintra announced:

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..

Is Ocado a screaming short?

Ocado (OCDO) has been the most shorted stock in the FTSE 100 over the past few years and the bears have been roasted. Is there still a bear case?

Bowler Hats Are Out of Fashion to be Replaced by New Money Hiding the Secret the City Keeps.

Hello Share Tweakers. When I was a lad, old gentlemen wore linen suits in the summer. These they changed for bowler hats and black Crombies with velvet collars in the darker days. Today, the elderly slob around in trainers, shapeless shorts, stretched tea shirts and baseball caps. While modern ladies look like an explosion in a jumble sale. And yet…

Smoove – possible offer “formal due diligence process is now well advanced”, but how much offer upside now is there?

Describing itself as a “customer focused technology and services business aiming to revolutionise home moving and ownership”, Smoove (SMV) has announced that, following a possible cash offer, “constructive discussions have continued between the parties and that a formal due diligence process is now well advanced… Takeover Panel… extension to… 5.00 p.m. on 8 September 2023”. What of the share price response currently to 48p?

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: I can't name my source but that does not invalidate the thesis

In today's Bearcast I discuss the Tingo (TIO) fraud and my bombshell expose of late last night, contrarian investing with the fraud loving Tom Dobell and Mosman Oil & Gas (MSMN), the definition of a bad asset. There are now just 15 tickets left for ShareStock on September 23. So if you want one book fast HERE. Be warned, Matthew's Dog and Catriona will love this podcast.

Saietta – “Update on Company Share Incentive Schemes”. A Remuneration Committee Roll-Call of Shame...

Saietta Group (SED) has announced the grant of new share options and cancellation of existing options “in order to appropriately incentivise key employees in the company's next stages of growth”. Hmmm – where’s the evidence that they “appropriately incentivise” and why the options replacement?

Britain’s worst fund manager, no not me but the fraud lover Tom Dobell, is back!

If you can’t be bothered selecting stocks on AIM to lose money on and want to outsource your money spaffing to an expert then your worries are over, Tom Dobell is back in town. I was a piss poor fund manager for only two of my four years in that game, Dobell has ten years of shame to his name.

I still think that gold should be in your portfolio

I read in a CNBC article published yesterday about gold that “some expect bullion to hit $2,500” (per ounce). For any investors with gold exposure (directly or indirectly), I guess that would be fantastic. Do I think it is going to happen? And if so, when?
ARC

BUY Arcontech Group

Shares in “provider of products and services for real-time financial market data processing and trading” Arcontech (ARC) responded higher following a significantly ahead of expectations earnings update for its year ended 30th June 2023 last month. However, a recently slipped back share price compares to 100p early last year and prior much higher levels – and we consider that there are the potential catalysts to take the shares back well above 100p again.

Symphony Environmental directors quit – bad optics

To lose one director in a day is understandable but to lose two looks like carelessness. Of course Symphony Environmental (SYM) says that NED Bob Wigley and Executive director Alexander Brennan, Executive Director, have resigned in order to concentrate on other business opportunities. Companies always say that.

Volex – proposed acquisition competition authority clearances, deal set to complete in next few weeks

Power and data transmission products integrated manufacturer Volex (VLX) has announced receipt of competition authority clearances in both Turkey and Macedonia for its proposed acquisition of Murat Ticaret Kablo Sanayi and that completion of the acquisition is now expected at the end of this month.

BREAKING BOMBSHELL - White & Case has not acted for Tingo for more than a month

On June 8 2023 Chris Cleverly’s fraud Tingo (TIO) announced that it had engaged top law firm White & Case to review the allegations made by short seller Hindenburg Research stating: “The Company strongly believes it is in shareholders’ best interests to allow White & Case’s independent review to be carried out unhindered and it is committed to protecting its integrity. As such, the Company intends to make no further comment on Hindenburg’s allegations until the review has been completed.”

Altcast: No 1: the world of small caps with Tom Winnifrith

Thanks to the sponsorship of Sure Valley, Riverfort Global & Pires Investments (PIRI) we are expanding the number and quality of speakers and are able to offer up more fun and games at Sharestock this year - as you can see HERE. In this first episode looking at small caps and AIM I chat to Brian Kinane and Liam Bulmer of Riverfort about why AIM and small caps had such a dreadful H1 2023 and why that might change. Enjoy.

Checkit – trading and “significant” contract update, how ‘well positioned’ is it?...

Previously writing on “operations platform for the deskless worker” company Checkit (CKT), in April with the shares down to 28p I concluded “congratulations on the currently continuing significant cash burn and I’ll wait to see how well positioned the company really is! Currently still avoid/sell”. The shares most recently closed at 23.5p and what of now a “Trading update, notice of results & contract” announcement?

Silver Bullet Data Services – “pleased to provide” trading update. Er, why no mention of the balance sheet then?

‘Provider of digital transformation services and products’ Silver Bullet Data Services (SBDS) has issued a trading update emphasising “continued strong revenue growth with overall performance in line with management expectations”. So what of a current more than 30% higher share price in response to 37.5p?

Then it is on to Alien Metals (UFO) , insider dealing, a Gotcha moment for me and another cash crisis just after Christmas, Tern (TERN) Jim Nominees (JIM), Eden Research (EDEN) and how Jo Hart at Midas should apologise for being played and Wilko and its demise

Tern – Plus Ca Change…..

AIM-listed jam-tomorrow IoT investment company Tern plc (TERN) has announced board and management changes to save around 40% of its central costs next year (2024) in comparison to FY22. The boardroom is having a clear-out, with the departure of Matthew Scherba and Bruce Leith joining former board member Al Sisto who was given the boot by shareholders at the last AGM, and the CFO is to step down…..but remains on the board. So it is all change…..or is it?
