Minoan – More Jam-Tomorrow, Or Another Step In The Right Direction?

AIM-listed holiday resort in Crete play Minoan (MIN) announced news this morning of a partial conversion of outstanding debt and an extension to the rest – with yet more warrants attached. I think this is, on balance, very good news.

Shareprophets translation service – Pantheon Resources

Oi Gerry Brandon you arse – the clock is ticking where is that Microsaic Update?

Shares in Microsaic (MSYS) remain suspended on the AIM sewer as it cannot get its accounts out. But with the company now within weeks of having to call in an administrator, surely its repellent and disgraced boss Gerry Brandon owes the company’s owners a statement. Here is the problem.
Following accounting fraud emerging with regard to revenue recognition while Brandon was in charge at Deepverge (DVRG) its shares have been suspended pending clarification and all its operations closed down. It now has just one employee but owes Microsaic c£1.3 million.

Argo Blockchain, forget the bitcoin price it NEVER makes money- ghastly interims out

At last year’s Sharestock, that fellow from Boatman Capital patiently explained how Argo Blockchain (ARB) never had made money and never would make money whatever the bitcoin price. And that is why its shares have a fair value of £0. Of course, as bitcoin surged in the first half of this year some investors with PhDs in ignoring FACTS thought they knew better.

Bunzl may not be exciting, but many institutional investors do not care about that

As I noted six months ago Bunzl (BNZL), the “specialist international distribution and services group”, may be a FTSE 100 company but it is not particularly well known. Nevertheless, it keeps on making business progress as observed by today’s first half 2023 numbers with it “upgrading our 2023 adjusted operating profit guidance, supported by a meaningful increase in our operating margin expectations”. Shows that despite all the doom and gloom out there, the world is not impossible right?

Letter Reporting Josef Baulf & PKF LittleJohn to the Financial Reporting Council over Regtech Open

My good pals at the accounting regulator FRC have acted against numerous companies and enablers who I have snitched on. Next up I hope are the enablers of the utterly dodgy Regtech Open IPO of last week. I have written to the FRC.

New Magnus Opus: You TERN If You Want To…..

AIM-listed jam-tomorrow Internet of Things investment company Tern plc (TERN) is in real trouble. It is short of cash, can’t issue shares, its investees continue to burn cash meaning cash-calls imminently and Tern’s “up to….” £3 million lending facility is also in trouble due to the company’s inability to issue shares. It is a perfect storm which is set to get worse. Here, in detail, are the reasons this bulletin board darling is a slam-dunk sell as it struggles with four major financing issues.

Luck of the Irish should Ensure this Budget Airline Will Continue to Fly High.

Hello Share Takers. They tell me that most airlines have upped their prices to make up for the bad time they had during Covid. Well, that may be so, but fares were ridiculously cheap before and are still tempting today. For example, I plan to fly to New York in December and it will cost me £400 return.

Jordan Roy-Byrne of TheDailyGold.com, our favourite technical analyst, has been saying for a few days that Gold was due a bounce.
