Echo Energy shares suspended after no insider dealing on AIM, honest guv!
Shares in uber-ramped Echo Energy (ECHO) were suspended today after a sharp share price move on Friday forced an admission from the company. Hmmmm, heavy share dealing just before a big announcement. But this is AIM, the world's most successful growth market so that is just a total coincidence just like it always is on the casino. Move along gents..nothing to see.

LightwaveRF – as warned, following the ‘pump’…
Writing less than two weeks ago on LightwaveRF (LWRF), my conclusion included the latest announcement has currently helped the shares back above 19p. However, this compares to more than 29p reached last month – the market also questioning cash crunch ahoy? And is this latest thus “fantastic to confirm” as it will aid a fundraising? There is now a “Proposed Placing to raise £5 Million & Open Offer” announcement – and the shares are currently down to 16.5p…

China's Congress is now over and so is Coordinated Global Growth
Last week Chinese leader Xi Jinping became the third ruler in the communist country’s history to have his named enshrined in its constitution and the first to receive this honour while still alive. In 1947 the US announced the Marshall plan to help to rebuild the devastated economies of Western Europe. America was much more generous with its aid 70 years ago, but the plan was not just about charity. American companies needed consumers overseas to have enough money to buy their products, and Harry Truman wanted to tie the recipient countries in Western Europe into a military alliance to counter the threat from the Soviet Union. The modern version of the Marshall Plan is Xi’s Belt and Road initiative...

As The Royal Bank Family Crowns Its One Year High, Recovery Should Reign Even Longer
Hello Share Snackers. Once again, at the risk of irritating this website’s very good friend Wildrides, I turn to another British bank. Though it’s hated by many share shifters because of its ten year old wallow in the depths of despond, RBS (RBS) at last shows signs of a more permanent recovery.

Aquatic Foods – what will the excuse be this time for no accounts? Month 4
Here we are again, with the last days of the month playing out and (as yet) no word from ShareProphets AIM-China Filthy Forty poster-boy Aquatic Foods Group. It missed the June 30th deadline to file its FY16 accounts and each month since then we’ve been promised news next month.

Fresnillo offers fantastic upside from further gold and silver strength
Recent weakness in precious metal prices is creating some great opportunities in the equities which are affected by this, and has resulted in some mining shares dropping back to a share price level where they offer good risk versus reward.

Collagen Solutions – disappointing first half trading update, stance downgrade
Collagen Solutions (COS) has updated on trading for its half year ended 30th September 2017, disappointingly including that “our first half revenues have been impacted by revenue recognition issues (£150,000) and anticipated orders which, for various reasons, have either not materialised or have been delayed by our customers' own internal issues (2016 equivalent £341,000)”…

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Our big LONG play for the year is coming back & worrying about Malcolm Stacey
This is a two part bearcast. In part one I discuss what is the biggest single investment we have made for a couple of years which comes back to the market this week. I explain why I am excited and why we have gone in big. Then I pick up on Malcolm Stacey's article yesterday on Day Trading. A) Don't do it and B) why this is one of many signs that remind me of the latter stages of the 2001 bull market. I recount my failings as a whistleblower then and why I am so depressed by the sordid antics of today's AIM

Jim Mellon’s Diabetic Boot Company accounts out – not a pretty picture
Investors in various Jim Mellon connected companies such as FastForward Innovations (FFWD) and Port Erin Biopharma (PEBI) may be interested in this analysis of Diabetic Boot Company’s latest six-month accounts to 31 December 2016. The bad news is that it is still losing a fortune although the good news is that at least Mr Mellon is now largely funding it himself.

Notes from Underground: Here's the pitch: Windpower, Bandwidth, Chinese Market
Clem Chambers was no idiot when he renamed ADVFN's holding company from On-Line Plc to On-line Blockchain Plc. The only way better drive it home would be to have renamed it On-line Tulip Plc.

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast - rate rise next week - the data that will shock you and shock Britain
Next week the Bank of England will increase base rates. Almost certainly by not enough but it is a start and a sign of what is to come. I look at new data out this week which shows just how much of a shock even a rise of 0.5% will be to millions of our fellow citizens and what the ramifications of that will be. I look at share sales at Berkeley Group (BKG), I look at CEO pay at ASOS (ASC) and finally have real doubts about the forthcoming IPO of Footasylum which I'd dodge big time.

Broader Market is Constraining Gold
Gold is the pre-eminent form of money. That is the basic tenet of money manager Greg Orrell. He says that we have yet to see the worlds radical monetary measures play out and when that occurs there will be a shift back to gold. Gold reveals the monetary debasement of currencies, and this has been ongoing globally. Currently, we are in a sweet spot for gold investors since the rest of the world’s money is focused on regular markets.

Tern – Director appointment dates???
It’s not much to ask for any AIM-listed company to get its Companies House filings right, and consistent with its RNSs, is it? But then AIM-listed Tern plc (TERN) has had a few issues with this in the past. So, Tern, when did Richard Turner join the board?

This weekend's Primary Bid offer - its Ascent Resources (again): Deadline Sunday
I seem to remember that this is the second time Ascent (AST) has used Primary Bid for a fund raise. The first time worked out well enough.. Anyhow it is back at the trough again raising £1 million in a fully underwritten offer at 1.66p.
